    I've tried to play a bit today and changed my weapon loadout in game, since I've changed it I haven't crashed a single time.

    I assume some mod/augmentation combination did something wonky that the game didn't like.

    From what I can remember, it was the "Zalkin Assault Rifle" with the "Beam Emitter" and I think the "Vintage Heat Sink" augments.

    The weapon was sometimes leaving behind some laser rays or whatever you want to call them after firing, but I assumed it was just some graphical glitch.

    I will try and play a bit more tomorrow and see if the game will crash again or if the issue is resolved.

    Edit:

    So after playing a bit more problem seems to be fixed no crashes or any problems anymore, weird how something as simple as changing the loadout can fix things.

Hey, thanks for the reply,

about the dump file, do you mean the ones that are in

\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Andromeda\Temp

if so it's the Google Drive link in my initial post since uploading them directly doesn't seem to work, it just tells me "Unsupported extension type" if I try.

If you mean some other dump file, I can upload them as soon as you tell me which ones you need and where they are located.

About the ASUS Xonar driver if I remember correctly it's a modified driver that I got from https://maxedtech.com/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/  since I had a lot of trouble with the normal ones and this one seemed to fix the issues I had.

Appreciate the help!
