Known Issues
- We're aware that some players with AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT GPUs are experiencing crashes or black screens shortly after entering gameplay. While we work with AMD on a permanent fix, please try the following: Go to Options > Graphics and change Shading Quality from Extreme to Performance. This has been shown to resolve the issue for affected users. If you continue to experience crashes, you can also try rolling back your AMD drivers to version 24.12.1 or 25.9.1 as an additional workaround.
