Blue screen crashing my PC

[DearFellowTraveler]

I was able to play shortly after release for about an hour, and then the game crashed to desktop. Ever since, every time I try to launch the game from screen it crashes my entire PC and I have to do a full restart. Anyone else running into this? Did you find a fix?

[Boom Goon]

Have you checked whether there was a BIOS update for your motherboard in the last few months?

Thanks for jumping in! I just checked and I'm fully up-to-date.

I was able to play fine during the closed beta, I was excited to download and play in early access and I'm getting the same issue. I'm also up to date on everything... I have tried downloading to different drivers, making sure my Antivirus isn't roadblocking it, checking my RAM health... no other games are giving me this issue.

I'm sorry to hear that! It get the impression a ton of people are in the same boat. A lot of games that use Easy Anti Cheat have similar issues at launch. While I'm sure it'll be fixed, it doesn't change the fact that they sold early access when early access is unavailable. Here's hoping they either release a patch, or are more generous with their refund policy.

Blue screens meaning its hardware issue

It seems unlikely the issue is hardware alone. Like many, I had similar issues with Space Marine II when it launched: EAC was causing blue screen crashes with the same error codes. There were at least workarounds for that game, though. Then the devs released their big patch, and the issue went away for me and others.

I far exceed the system requirements, and other games (aside from Space Marine II's launch issues) run fine. A little research online seems to indicate that something about EAC doesn't seem to play well with systems lately, but I can't find any working fixes other than hoping the devs put out a patch soon enough to make paying for early access worthwhile.

U should share your pc specs

I have a wild hunch it's either a potato machine or your os is fragged. EAC shouldn't be bsoding your system.

[PoRuNo -ポルノ-]

What error message did you get ?

[Nekrosis]

same issues happening to me, it is happening to a bunch of people. Driver updates, OS updates, antivirus work a round, clearing steam download cache and fresh install have all failed to the resolve the issue for me

I really don't think the issue is my PC, but I'm open to being proven wrong. Here's the relevant specs:
Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit
Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K (32 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Display: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
RAM: 32 GB

As far as the OS, it's never given me any issues in the past. All of this seems unique to Throne and Liberty. I agree that EAC shouldn't be BSODing my system but, if you look it up, at definitely isn't uncommon.

This is the same conclusion I came to as well. Easy Anti Cheat has notoriously been the culprit to any start-up crash issues I have had with my current PC- i9-9900K & a 2080Super for the past few years. I'll be doing what I usually do in these circumstances- try to be patient until they patch it up.

Hopefully we'll each be able to play soon. ^^

I FOUND A SOLUTION!!! (For myself at least). I entirely uninstalled UltraAV (new Antivirus-thx Kaspersky...) and I was able to launch no issues. Pausing protection / whitelisting didn't do anything for EAC, but fully removing the antivirus worked wonders.

Not sure if it will work for you as well, but I wanted to share an update. :)
