Hi mate,
Played SoT a while back on an older rig and decided to check the new updates: while I can log in and play for a few minutes at best (sometimes only a few seconds), the game will just keep crashing like you're experiencing. I've tried every possible solution except reinstalling Windows (11), which I am not going to do for only one game. So far, reinstalling the GPU drivers, verifying the game files, either through Steam or the built-in feature, and various other attemps have not stopped the crashes.
I've been getting random and contradictory error messages: from a GPU error to a Visual C++ one, and even missing files (even though 30 seconds before Steam and SoT assured me none were missing!).
My setup (just to be sure, I reset all my overclocks, everything is running at stock speeds and very far from overheating):
i7 12700K
RTX 3090
32 GB DDR5 RAM (4800 MHz)
Game is installed on a secondary M.2 SSD, fresh install from a week ago
Hopefully we can find what's wrong together!
