Getting crashes multiple times a game, happened before update but happens more frequently now. I plugged my crashdmp file results into chatgpt and it spit out this summary:
The game consistently crashes after a short time in-game. Debugging the crash dump using WinDbg shows a null pointer dereference in materialsystem2.dll.
