[PC - STEAM] Crashing to Desktop

Since the 9th I have been crashing to desktop, roughly 30-40minutes of game play (or normally after completing a map or 2) I randomly crash to desktop.

After crashing I am not able to relog on to that Character for roughly 15minutes.

I assume its an instance crash? [I use the Dreadnough hideout]

I have tried a few work arounds, even did a full reinstalling, the game continues to crash randomly.

My GPU: 4070Ti Super
My CPU: i9-14900KF

I have ran out of ideas on what to do... Any help is welcome :D

Same problem here.I think it's still Una they need to fix.When her lute is fixed crashes will be fixed too.

Hi. Also crushes after last patch. Guess you fixed random crushes for some players and get new random crushes for other players) After last patch I have problem with random crashes, random unable to press "play", game closes 1-5 times in a row. And the main problem when I finally in game, from 90 fps game drops till 4 fps while nothing around, just random freezes. As in youtube, made cash fro shaders 100 GB, didn't help at all.

I am having problems with character selection and then launching the game. It just will not start today and I did not have this problem yesterday. Today I just cannot launch the game until the 3rd or 4th try.

What's in your client.txt?

I'm getting the same thing with shader crashes. They don't seem to be answering this issue.

This is something I was looking for, thank you!! I can now monitor where the crash is.

Does seem to be a shader issue still ongoing, I see the below very often in the client.txt file..

This is 2 instances where something has failed to decompress and its corrupted data.. I have tried to verify files through steam and no errors, I have even reinstalled the game, no change. So this must be a thing only GGG can fix?

Same problem! Will crash randomly to desktop. Sometimes after 1,5 hours. Sometimes after 30 minutes.

4070 Super and 7800x3D

So a quick update - Tried to play just now, when selecting my character I get the same crash, this has happened twice back to back - See below data

I've also been getting a crash to desktop after selecting a character ever since the last patch. It's been taking me three tries before it stops crashing.

another update; Tried to play again today, After 1 complete map, I attempt to go back to my hideout, during loading screen I crash to desktop.

Think this will be my last try till they have a fix, they have done something that makes me crash too often and its not enjoyable when its constantly happening.

See below my logs from, client.txt
