What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. I am crashing out of game into SteamVR compositor every time I try to load in to the fleet battle tutorial and immediately after finishing rebel story mission 2. It occurs at the exact same time in both instances every time without fail.

The crash happens at the exact some time every time. I see the black loading screen upon mission completion and during the loading screen the game drops. I have installed the newest NVIDIA Drivers, and restarted Steam VR and my PC, but the issue still occurs.

EDIT: tested a 3rd time, the exact moment of the CTD is during the transition into a loading screen/cutscene at the end of the objective mentioned below. I see the loading icon show up in the bottom right, followed by a fade to black, then desktop.

the exact moment of the crash happens during mission 2: Skies of Yavin when the newly captured star destroyer opens fire on the three approaching carriers. My actions during that time was simply following the mission objective, which was to follow the lead NPC while watching the above mentioned events unfold. this happened 2 times before i decided to create a thread, but it looks like its repeatable and currently preventing me from progressing.

On PC the game crashes for me without fail when starting mission 2 right after the cutscene that plays after launch.
I tried selecting the mission directly rather than continuing the save game but the result is the same.

I managed to get into the game in VR. That'll be lower resolution (and I was super sampling because the framerate was so high).
Maybe the game just isn't gracefully handling out of memory issues?

Tried lowering the resolution too and that seemed to do the trick. Mission started without a hitch. As soon as I set the game to a higher resolution again, the game CTD'd.

**EDIT**
Seems lowering the Volumetric Quality did the actual trick. All other settings still set to Ultra and the mission starts without issue.

I have a CTD at the end of mission 2 when playing in VR with a Reverb.

Mission runs just fine but at the end when the star destroyer destroys the 3 carriers, I have a loading Icon in the bottom and then suddenly the game just CTD

super weird and I don't know how to fix this.

Haven't found anyone with that issue yet 

I've tried to restart the mission but I got the same issue at the exact same time. I also lowered the Volumetric Quality from Ultra to high but it didn't help

Basically covered already. After the Star Destroyer gets captured and it destroys the three Quasars, the game fades to black like a cutscene is coming, then crashes to desktop. Using an HP Reverb.

@PB0_Foxy I've set mine to medium. For some reason that worked, so I stopped trying other settings.

@jmlee236 Update: Works fine when NOT in VR. Bypassed the bug with game not in VR and able to continue as normal once the mission finished.

In Mission 2 - Yavin:

Immediately after destroying the targeting system the game pauses and instructs the player to rebalance shields before resuming.

Upon rebalancing the shields, the mission does not resume and no control inputs are accepted, including keyboard input to return to the menu.

The only choice is to exit the game through Windows.
