@Sonnytolo forum rules are to be kind and respectful. btw not a placebo it works, multiple people confirming it works just check the post if you want to help your friend direct him to it to try it your not going to get a dev response btw my fix got featured in an article so why not try it, also its not unheard of for a windows service to error out and cause something to crash went to school to work on computers so i know what im talking about. here is some proof that even something like a microphone can break a game

the game relies on windows services to make game functions work and windows relies on your cpu to run those services so it could be a problem with how the game tells windows to run the service that causes the game to crash on a certain cpu. also would be the reason why process lasso does not work. every once in a while the game will full crash to desktop without the error but this is due to some other issue.
