Issue Type (Required):

Crash - On Launch

Issue Description (Required):

Hi. Just tried to get back into the game, but every time I launch the game and click on “Play” the game crashes while it tries to load into the main hangout area.

I have updated my drivers, reinstalled the game and verified game files. Nothing really works and couldnt find anyone else that had the same issue as me.

Hope someone can help me out and that this thread can help the next person :slight_smile:

@samoyeet there are references to the Steam client being involved in the crash in some way. In the past, Steam VoIP has caused crashes and issues, so as a start can you please try disabling Steam VoIP and check if there’s any difference?

Otherwise, please ensure that you have latest Steam client updates and Windows updates installed - as this can sometimes be the cause of unusual crashes.

Please let me know how you get on.
