When flying around certain areas in Freeplay crashing to desktop is almost a certainty. They seem to be related with the new event areas regardless if an event is in progress or not. I've included a screenshot of the map within seconds of crashing as well as a video of me recreating the crash for this particular spot.

@Neiloch I just played 2 Freeplays, same thing happened. Did a stronghold last night and that went fine, but free play I keep crashing to desktop.

Everyone I know who has tried it there or other specific areas have CTD 100% of the time if they are trying to induce it. Its not isolated to minority at all.

Do you use any kind of FPS limiter?

i just posted this

Iam having the exact same issue as you. "I havnt tried today yet if its better" but yesterday i was crashing like crazy.

But if i play with Vsync ON i do not crash anymore.

If i turn Vsync Off and use Nvidia profile Inspector to limit my FPS to 60FPS i crash just like you said.

Not sure what kind of PC system you have and what FPS you play at but iam curious if you use a FPS limiter and if you do and turn that off see if you still crash.

Even if I turn Nvidia inspector OFF so my FPS is uncapped, then also leave Vsync off I do Not crash but i get tearing bc i only have a 60hz monitor.

I crash only when i limit my FPS with inspector.

This only happens in freeplay or contracts that puts you into the freeplay world. I have no issue with the rest of the game.
