Game crashing frequently after new update
Hello, as much as I did read the template, I don't know if it was helpful if I would copy it here, lot of informations would be blank.
Bug: last days I am experiencing a weird crashes of the game, I just play without any FPS drops or performance issues and suddenly out of nowhere I got a small lag and then game instantly crashed. Game then opens up crash report to me and there is info about memory, bytes and that Kernel crashed. There is no pattern I could follow, because it happened to me while breaking pallet, doors, while being in chase and just running or while swinging with weapon, so I'll try to provide you with so much informations I am able to.
Also I have most of my games from last days with this combination, it is possible that character or perks have
nothing to do with it and it could be just coincidence. I left many matches because of that and I also got 2 crashes as survivor vs Knight. So now I have 30 min penalty which is kinda crazy for me, never had issues with leaving or something like that, so that penalty really hurts.
Character: The Knight - played without skins or so, 2x times also survivors vs The Knight
Perks: Corrupt int, Dead Man's Switch, Scourage Hook: Pain Resonance, SH: Monstrous Shrine
Maps: doesn't matter always happened somewhere else
Addons: Tattered Tabard, Map of the realm
Frequency: not sure, probably every 5-10 matches or so? seems really random... I reinstalled DBD for a chance it would repair itself but it didn't help, so I have also just 2 last crash logs (well, I ziped entire folders with crashes, just to be sure you have everything).
Documents: only 2 crash logs, since it's not really predictable, I have no recording or screenshots
Platform: PC (Steam)
Additional info: I think it happened everytime in second half or in second third of the game, it never happened at the start of the game or in first half of the game, I am sure with that. As much as I think regarding crash report and the time it appears in the game, it has something to do with Knight and maybe memory allocation? I am not sure, it's just my guess. Also half of the cases happened to me against weird survivors - really weird behavior like being a bit faster just by observing them, just standing afk in the middle of the map, etc... I don't know how much is possible that cheaters would be involved in this (since DBD had really big issue with cheaters for months).
PTB: I can't compare this issue with PTB run, because I didn't play last PTB much, so it never happened to me on PTB

Same problem on Nintendo Switch, played two matches as new killer and it just crashed every time, writing this since I have to wait 2 minutes penalty for this faulty update, trying now as survivor :///

Same thing is happening on ps5. EVERY killer match I’ve played has crashed.
I don’t remember all the maps because it’s literally been every single killer match.
I’ve played ghostface, legion, and the knight.
There doesn’t seem to be any action triggering it. I’ve made it all the way to last hook before it crashes and the most recent game it crashed at the very beginning.
Seven games in a row.

I have the same problem on PC in every round I play as a killer, my game just crashes right after 5 minutes, sometimes a little later I played the Demogorgon and the Onryo and it crashed in both cases
