    Title: Crashing crashing crashing
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? YES
    Details: Been crashing a lot, most recent update that fixed hitching made it way worse, I cant even do ravensmoor, a place with very little going on. I would say I have lost around 200 durability on everything so far from crashing mid fight, im going to have to major repair armor that is not even a week old already, because of this. I would swear here, but I guess my last thread like this got deleted, so this has to be all family friendly.
    Steps to Reproduce: Crash, maybe crash mid fight, die while crashing mid fight, come back after you crashed, lose 5 durability on armor that took millions of gold to make, probably around 3.3m gold which equates to around $100.

    Update 1159 literally made it worse, cant go around in towns for more than 10 seconds without a unity crash.

    Have you un-installed the game (deleted the directory) then re-installed to try to resolve this?

    There seems to be something happening with AMD cards specifically. Have you tried entering "crafter town" many of us on the RX series can't get in there. I was having a TON of crashes just like you and the one thing that fixed it for me was using the AMD software utility to turn off the AMD graphics features at the driver level. I you have all of these turned on or some of them turned on try turning them all off and see if that helps.

    In the radeon software go to shroud of the avatar and click on graphics settings and make sure the following are OFF.

    Graphics Profile: (CUSTOM) This will let you tune for this game only and not mess with global settings.

    Radeon Anti lag: Off

    Radeon Chill: Off

    Radeon Image Sharpening: (I have this ON and it doesnt seem to matter, for your own use you can try off)

    Radeon Enhanced Sync: Disabled

    Anti Aliasing: Use application setting

    Anti Aliasing Method: (Not sure it matters as the game is doing this per the driver but mine says Adaptive Multisampling)

    Anisotropic Filtering: Disabled

    Texture Filtering Quality: (Mine is high, but AF is disabled so IDK if it's actually doing anything.)

    Surface Format Optimization: Disabled

    Tessellation Mode: AMD Optimized

    Open GL Triple Buffering: Disabled

    Again, turning most of these settings off stopped the vast majority of my crashes on my AMD card... now I Just have the random crash in POT (I think there is some deco item or something that is conflicting with our AMD cards..) and I can't enter "crafters town" in any fashion (but everyone with our graphics card has said this so far.. again it might be that particular house deco item is at the entrance there?)

    let me know if this helps, I am curious! Good Luck!

    Definitely seems to be something about AMD cards. I have Nividia and just ran around all over Crafter's town with no problems and little to no framerate problems. Even my usual "hitch" seemed gone.

    The thing that sucks is that it hasnt always been like this. One day they did some update to apparently help performance or something, and that was the day my fps went down really badly and the day that I started crashing a crap ton. Kind of sucks. Probably just gonna take a break from this game until this all gets fixed. We are apparently going to go to unity 2019, a whole freaking year of updates. This game is probably going to become bug city once they update. cant wait for that.

    I run a RX 5500 xt / 8GB ddr6, I can go crafterstown and reproduce a crash 99% of the time, other then that the game runs great for me, but my problem now is I can't get to my vendor!
