Me and my friend both keep crashing after about 30-45 minutes in game, we have no frame drops and our computer can run it fine and after it crashes, there is no error, just simply closes. Only started happening after the update and it sucks because my friend just picked up the game and this isnt a good impression. The thing is, is that for some reason its always at the same time, like my friend started his game just a minute after mine and once he crashed, I crashed shortly after. And if it matter we have a friend whos on xbox that plays with us and he doesnt crash. Also if it matter my specs are
CPU
Intel Core i7 10700K @ 3.80GHz 37 °C

Game crashes after a certain amount of time???
@digerus
Heating issue?
I have a crewmate who turns off his fan for certain applications and forgets to turn it on before playing SoT. He crashes after about 35-40 minutes.I'm having the same issue also, as is my son on his PC. We are both also using RTX cards (me a 3080 TI and him a 3060 TI). We are on the latest drivers (version 511.23). We only started playing at the weekend so no idea if this is a recent thing or not, but both of us experience crashes to the desktop at random times, usually after about 20-30 mins play time, but sometimes more frequently.
As the OP is also on an RTX card I'm wondering if this is the common theme?

I'm having this same issue with a 3080 PC. It crashes as if it's overheating but looking at the temps it never comes close so I have no idea what the problem is. I've completely given up on trying to play this game.
As this is an old post is better if you make a new post to get assistance.
@mogyesz2706 Have you tried raising a ticket with support, as they should be able to help identify the problem.
I had the same kind of crash. After almost 3 hours of stacking and reaching emissary level 5 , I decided to call it a day. Almost reaching the outpost the games freezes and after 3 seconds it closes, without even giving an error code. Uninstalled SoT and cancelled game pass, which I was only using to play this waste of a game. [mod edit]
@foxdodge the support is useless, forum is much better but looks like nothing can resolve the issue, I might reinstall my PC

Me, my kids, and friends I play with are all getting crashes to desktop every 30 minutes or real close to it just since the last patch. Been playing for over 2 years and never had this happen before. All of us are on different systems from PC to laptop, AMD to Intel, AMD to Nvidia, HDD to SSD, etc. No commonalities between us except the patch and we are all playing the Windows Store version. Have uninstalled, cleaned store cache, reinstalled, patched windows and drivers, etc. It will be at different times too if we started at different times, so it's not one of us bringing down the others. But if we all open the game and start at the same time, we all crash to desktop at the same time about 30 minutes later. Anyone seen this as well?

It seems as though a bad lag spike will happen, game will freeze and crash. No error code… my system can easily run this game and many others. It’s not our hardware. Something on Rares side needs to be done to fix this issue.

I have been having the same issue since the update on May 12th. Nothing has changed on my PC.

@friedwilly same here… pretty disappointing
I was able to try something and it has improved stability. If you 'Reset App Data' it seems to improve overall stability and I have not had a crash yet.
On a Windows10 PC start with finding and launching 'Add or Remove Programs'. Next, find 'Sea of Thieves' in the list of programs. Select 'Advanced' options and scroll down mid-page and you shall find 'Reset'. Select this button, please note it will reset all the game settings. (i.e., video settings, graphic settings, audio settings, etc.)
This has worked for me.
Hi guys after back and fourth with support they worked out I have this MSI crapware Nahimic installed that can crash apps, removing it seems to of fixed the issue
