Hi!
Tried a lot of different ways (new character, new save, low graph etc.), even tweaked my pc for better performance still crashing out. First couple days was no issue at all. It started maybe 3 days ago.

Please share your game logs, game saves, crash dumps, and DxDiag. These are essential for diagnosing and fixing bugs.

HOW TO FIND LOGS

Game logs are located here:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\Logs

Server logs are located here:
R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Saved\Logs

To get there, open Steam, find Windrose in your library, right-click it, then go to Manage → Browse local files. From there, archive the files in the Logs folder and share them with us.

Please name your logs in a way that describes the problem, for example: Crashedwhile_fighting_Dodo.log

HOW TO FIND SAVES

Your saves are located here:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\SaveProfiles
Please close the game before archiving your saves!

If you are playing on a dedicated server:
• Stop both the client and the dedicated server.
• Find and archive your server logs and world save.

Dedicated server logs are located here:
R5\Saved\Logs

Dedicated server saves are located here:
R5\Saved\SaveProfiles

To get there, open Steam, find Windrose Dedicated Server in your library, right-click it, then go to Manage → Browse local files (or go to the folder where your Windrose Dedicated Server is stored).

Please close the dedicated server before archiving your saves.

HOW TO FIND CRASH DUMPS

If crashes are involved, please share crash dumps:

Game client dumps (if play offline)

I don't want to jump to conclusions just yet, but it seems that the BIOS update has resolved the issue. I've been running the game for an hour now, which is a new record! 😄 I'm not sure why the problem didn't surface during the first few days, though. I've tested various scenarios while hosting, including naval combat, land combat, building/demolishing, also did some alt-tabbing while in session and everything remained perfectly stable.
BIOS: 1.40 (2023)→ Outdated (Latest version from April 2026: 7D67v1M9)
As far as I know, the older BIOS version had poorer support for the proper coordination of parallel GPUs. I’ll continue testing tomorrow, but it looks like the problem is getting solved.

Just a final update: it’s safe to say the BIOS update officially solved the issue. I’ve been hosting the server for nearly 3 hours now with 3 players active, multiple ships, and constant action. Everything is perfectly stable with no crashes at all. Thanks for your time! Hope it helps others as well.
