Cant get passed the character selection screen
anyone else crashing every single time they try and load in on a character? I legitimately cannot get passed character selection, even though last night i played for somewhere around 5 hours straight last night give or take, with no issues, what the hell is the deal?

I have exactly this problem too. If I do get into a game it crashes if I open inventory use a waypoint try and upgrade a skill, things like that but it doesn't happen every time, it's like a lottery when I go to do something whether game will crash or not. When it does crash I can take multiple attempts to get past character screen to actually play again.

I am also suffering from the same problem. I need 1-5 tries to even get past the intro, then another 5-10 tries for character selection. Once I am in I can play sometimes for an hour or two, but opening inventory, clicking on a skillgem or opening the skilltree risks crashing the game without any kind of error message.

I already have tried switching graphics to DX11, DX12 or Vulcan - same result. I have fiddled around with multithreading, with graphics settings - everything. No result.

You should make sure the type of operating system you are using, whether the runtime file of the game is complete,
Then you have to tell me the model of the graphics card you use and the type of CPU, and then you can explain what the crash message involves.

^^This. I get EXACTLY the same issues. Tried multiple things to fix it, sometimes it works, others it lasts for 5 minutes.

I'm running on a 4080 Super, I9-14900kf proc Windows 11 Nvidia 572.16 driver.
The game comes up with multiple different errors and codes, like header faults and the likes. Most of the time the game shuts down (no hard crash for me....yet) with no reason for shutting down.
Go into your inventory = ctd. Open a portal = ctd. Go to upgrade a skill = ctd.
But the game is unpredictable when this happens. As I said in my original post it's a lottery whether the game will crash or not.

Well, I may not know the specific reason, but the CPU I9-14900 is running some programs, which will lead to the interruption of the game, taking into account the temperature of the graphic display equipment. This needs to consider many comprehensive factors, but I still use win10 system, where Intel's reputation is not very good.
I haven't played this game for a month, and I don't know where the problem lies.
Well, I think the graphics card 4080 SUPER should be able to try to modify the graphics settings in the game, and he should be able to play with 2K image quality when DLSS3 is turned on.
I hope this game supports the function of DLSS3. I am not a special professional programmer. I just tell you some questions.
The general game crash may be related to the frequency reduction of Intel CPU, or the use of two memory chips that are easy to cause conflict, or it may be related to the game program, but this probability is not high.
The latest system of WIN11 may not be particularly stable in terms of games. I think the framework of this game is relatively long.
The problem of game crash should be answered and solved by GGG, because their programs are professional and won't make such low-level mistakes.

I think this problem may lie in these two.

My suggestion supports reference.
Maybe there are other reasons? Graphics driver version

In fact, you can try other games to fly without the same crash problem.
yep.. same! constant crashes... GGG fix it. You all broke something. It wasn't that way.
yup been about a week with 100% crash rate after character selection. Tried reinstalling and switching from steam launcher to native launcher, but every time it pauses during the load screen after character selection before closing completely. No error message. Happens with all characters, even newly created ones.

if you have the game on borderless windowed swap to fullscreen, it might fix some of the crashing, Helped with my game anyway.
