@DarthJAYder21Same deal here.It actually looks like it crashes any time it's about to load into Yavin. Usually there's no error, just silent crash. One of the times, though, I got the attached error (it won't show up when I try to insert it as an image, sorry). I renamed that file to a *.old instead of a *.dll just to see if the game would notice, it did not. Weird thing is, I'm not playing this in VR mode so I have no idea why it would be trying to access that particular file. I've also gone through and verified my local game files, as someone on Reddit said they had success with that. No luck here, everything checked out fine. Twice. The game is only quasi-playable at this point. I can't progress in the story and I have a high probability that a given multiplayer match will crash to desktop.

Same crash in VR for both the SP mission and the map in MP. After researching found a reddit post that stated "it's solved by lowering the volumetric quality (VR or non-VR)." so I am going to try that. Figured it would be worth sharing with the devs to help focus in on what is causing it.

I am trying to run the non vr version of this game. I have my game on steam and I am getting issues of it just crashing at random points. Whether it starts up or just after I do my set up. I am, like many others, having issues with either getting a blue screen or the game just failing to launch. I tried many fixes like the windowed mode and verifying the game files. I have updated drivers and windows and it has gotten worse with the blue screen launches. Every other game in my library is working for me except this one and it is really frustrating to have this issue. I also performed a clean boot to prevent anything from giving me this crash but it has not changed. CPU: i7-10700kRam: 16gb DDR4-3500 Mhz GPU: RTX 2070 OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Same issue, cant progress the game crashed upon loading mission 2

Same - only happens when playing Yavin, story mission 2. 100% of the time, fixed by turning Volumetric detail to low for that mission only

This has been happening to me since day 1. I've tried reducing volumetric effects to low. (This is why you need to offer "OFF" options for things. Who cares about game experience if we're doing diagnostics and can't play anyway?) I have also tried verifying game files, reinstalling, etc. etc. etc.

Playing on Valve Index with Geforce RTX 2080. Automatic Settings were ultra mode. Consistent crash after captured Star destroyer destroys friendly ships in mission: skies of Yavin. Reducing the Volumetric Quality (not VR) did nothing (put it down until low). Reducing Volumetric Quality VR from "Ultra" to "High" after that fixed the issue. (probably both must be lowered)
--> I believe crash can be consistently reproduced with utra settings in VR - probably the Ultra version of some effect file is missing.

Same here. I'm running an RTX 2080 on a super-ultrawide monitor. Setting graphics to custom and turning Volumetric Detail from Ultra to Medium prevents the game from crashing for me.
