The work around does indeed work: "One suggestion in the replies that does seem to have worked for me as a temporary workaround is to add the following to the game's Steam launch options: "+staticprop_color_use_bindless 0 +staticprop_depth_use_bindless 0 +r_drawworld_depth_bindless 0".

4ypert3nsion I'm playing on the EA App and I can confirm that the custom launch options do work for the EA App as well.

Another solution may be to rollback the GPU's drivers, (to version 26.6.x or 26.7.x).

Lastly, the crash is currently affecting AMD Radeon version 26.8.1, where the problem appears to be caused by bindless rendering and DirectX shader compilation.
