As above, game crashes when Sundance is on the screen close up in default skin and you have Radeon VII graphics card. This may also affect some other skins, but I am unable to test because I am unable to play to unlock them...

DICE, I'm a software engineer so let me know if you need any logs or specifics for debugging this. I know this GPU is hard to obtain.

Oddly, the STORMBREAKER SKIN IS NOT AFFECTED. DICE Please disable all skins except this one as a temporary workaround considering there will be no more updates for the rest of the year.

Hey @LlamaWithKatana and everyone,

Today we shared the patch notes of our upcoming patch 3.2.
This patch should address the issue - 

• Fixed a rendering related crash that could occur for AMD Radeon VII users while Sundance was visible on screen.

Once the patch is live, I would love to hear if the issue is resolved for AMD Radeon VII users. 

Regarding other crash reports on AMD cards in this thread, please keep sharing any related information about the issues and I will take a look. I am interested to know if you see the crashes frequently when doing a specific action.

Summarize your bug Playing all 2042 game modes with specialists (but not old school classes in portals) seem to make the game crash with dx12 errors within a few minutes. This seems very specific to Radeon VII users with many posting on reddit with the same issue. Any game mode with the new specialists crashes, even custom portal experiences with bf3 classes and new maps work fine. The problem appears to be limited to the new specialists.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use Radeon VII GPU with drivers 21.11.2, play as Sundance and the game will crash when you die and it goes third person (or when there is a Sundance around)
What happens when the bug occurs? Game crashes
What should be happening instead? Game doesn't crash when playing game modes with specialists when using Radeon VII GPU

‌

As above, game crashes in game modes that have the new specialists when using Radeon VII GPU, but not in games with bf3/bc2/1942 classes

@ryannathans Same here Radeon VII, Ryzen 3700x, latest today drivers 21.11.2, playing at 1440p and 144Hz , nor CPU nor GPU are overclocked.

I can play portal without problem in remastered maps but once I play AoW in 2042 maps game crashes after 1 o 2 minutes of gameplay.

And update: also crashes if remastered maps use Specialists from 2042

[ryannathans]

@-OSP-Harkon_ES very interesting find with the 2042 specialists on remastered maps..

[ryannathans]

@-OSP-Harkon_ESlet's test new maps with classic bc2 classes in portal. Maybe the bug is limited specifically to specialists

Confirmed to be limited to new specialists only, I managed to play a game in portal with new maps but bf3 classes and it didn't crash

+1 to this issue.

Playing with latest drivers, 3700X and RVII.
Any game mode with specialists crashes the entire system (must force restart).

Playing with Irish crashes my game in less than 2 minutes.

I believe the issue is with Sundance. If I play her I crash as soon as I die and it goes third person.

Additionally a Sundance on my team ran past and this was the final frame before I crashed (attached)

Seems this thread was moved to technical issues... I have created another in bug reports.

if I'm playing sundance this only happens when I deploy wingsuit and see myself in third person. when other players are playing sundance I have to be within 5meters
