The game keeps crashing/fatal error

Basic Info: Platform: Steam; Issue Type: Crash; Game Mode: Single Player; Server Type: PvE; Map: Exiled Lands; Server Name: None; Mods: None

Bug Description:
Game crashes randomly a few minutes into gametime. Sometimes Fatal Error, sometimes nothing, sometimes Bluescreen. Happens on singleplayer, official server and private server with mods, no difference.

Bug Reproduction:
Seems to happen more with tralls and building pieces within render distance, but also solo in dungeons so im at a loss. No difference after complete reinstall of the game and drivers…

It could be a Mod issue.
Mods are not stored in the same folder as the game.
so reinstalling the game doesn’t remove them.

Search for folders named 440900 there are two of them.
Delete these folders. Then verify file integrity through steam, this is important because if you don’t the game will CTD.

Check if Single player works for you.
If this doesn’t work then submit a report to FC without reinstalling mods.

If it does work you can carefully reinstall mods to play on the private modded server.

No crashes on single player (created a new one and spawned a lot of foundations/thralls and shit)

Usual fatal error without message a few minutes into an official server with large buildings -.-
But thanks for the tipp

So.. thanks @cyc for your help.

The crashes seem to be a win11/nvidia problem.
I tried a few things and reinstalling an old graphics driver seems do do the trick.

For anyone else having problems, try cleaning your driver using.

then search your specs and install the oldest one of these you can find and go from there.

Beware, installing mods causes the game to be pretty unstable again.
