Hi guys,
I've been playing SoT happily on PC for a long time now as a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, however since installing the Season 2 update my game now fails to launch. More often than not the game will crash immediately, other times it'll reach the title screen and then crash.
So far I've:
- Allowed an exception in AV (Sophos) for the game directory.
- Made sure Windows 10 20H2 is fully up to date.
- Made sure all drivers up to date.
- Checked permissions on 'WindowsApps' folder for the game directory.
- Reinstalled the game twice (from the Xbox app for Windows).
Here's what Event Viewer had to say:
Faulting application name: SoTGame.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x60746e55

Has anyone else had the same issue, if so, did you manage to resolve it?
I'm gutted that I haven't had chance to play Season 2 yet. I have reached out to Rare via their support email however last time I did that for an unrelated issue, they took a while to get back to me.
If anyone has any tips for me to try, please do let me know! Thanks!
