Upload Supporting Evidence:
Having difficulty recording this, essentially I will enter the training room and if I leave the circle approaching the ogryns, I quickly crash.

So far my general fix is to just set all my settings to minimum and avoid melee; this is largely okay but not exactly the most enjoyable experience. If you are wondering, no, setting worker threads to 1 does not fix the issue either. Please let me know if you need anything else! I’ll try to get my screen recorder tool to work but its been rather testy.

P.S.
After further testing, I’ve not crashed a single time when meleeing any enemy that isn’t the ogryn reaper; the only ones I have crashed to are the ones closest to the reaper in the training area, and only a select number of times. As well, the moment I increase my graphical settings (back to max) with a reaper present in the map, it will crash; hope this helps!
