Game crashing/crash dump error
Hello, I have a problem with my game. Whenever I try to start a new game, it crashes and pops up the "crash dump error" notification. I've tried EVERYTHING to fix this but to no avail. It's really frustrating.

These are my specs:
- Intel Core i5-12400
- A 32 inch monitor (resolution 1920x1080)
- Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti
- 32 gb RAM
- I'm using Directx12
- Also my OS is Windows 11

So... with those specs I should be able to run this game by far. Don't understand why keeps crashing everytime I try to start a new game. Also, whenever I launch the game from steam, the intro shows like a thin line on the left corner of my screen. I've been searching on the forums here on steam and reddit but I haven't found a solution for this issue.

Any ideas? :steamfacepalm:

My only ideas.
The game uses DX11. Those should be loaded on install?

If you have MSI afterburner and RivaTuner, those cause the game to crash.
Somebody once said they opened MSI AB and RT back up, turned stealth mode off and the game works fine.

DirectX12 is backwards compatible with older versions of DirectX.

If you do not use MSI/RT. Try this.
Verify Integrity of Game Files to make sure you do not have corrupted or even missing files.

If Verifying Integrity of Game Files did not fix your problem,
Try and reinstall all the apps (exe files) from
Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\DirectX
Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedistDotNet
Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist\vcredist

Simply to make sure they are installed correctly.

Don't forget to restart your computer, when the program prompts you to do so or when you've reinstalled all apps.

I assume you don't use game mods.
If the above did not work for you. You have at least taken the basic steps to ensure that the game and the files related to the game are working as intended and can switch your focus to other programs that could possibly interfere with the game process.
