Servers will be offline tomorrow 5/14 @ 6AM PDT. for a scheduled maintenance. Estimated downtime may be up to 4 hours. Please see the patch notes below.Potential Fixes to the Crash IssueFixed several DirectX warnings and concurrency-related issues. These changes should resolve some cases of data corruption and reduce the likelihood of crashes, although they may not completely eliminate the currently observed crashing issues.We have also received multiple reports that updating to the latest GPU drivers resolved crashing issues for some players. We recommend updating your GPU drivers to the latest version. If this does not resolve the issue, we recommend performing a clean driver installation after removing the existing drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).We will continue monitoring the situation after the hotfix. Please let us know on Discord whether the hotfix or updating your GPU drivers helped resolve the issue.Additionally, information about your GPU model and driver version will help us better understand the current problem and improve our error handling system in the future. This will also allow us to provide players with clearer and more informative error messages (as we previously did for other issues). Thank you for your patience! We understand how frustrating this issue is and are working to resolve it ASAP.
