Crashing on Dreadnought in Cruel Act 2

Hello,

I am stuck on a crash and looking to work around it.

As soon as entered Act 2 Cruel: The Dreadnought, the game crashed after a few seconds. Since then, whenever I try to play the character, it either crashes on the loading screen or the area loads for a second with everything frozen before crashing.

I've validated files on Steam, didn't fix the problem. Also tried changing renderer from Vulcan to Dx12, didn't help either.

Any ideas what else I can do now? Does the instance reset after a while?

Thanks for the ideas.

Instance reset so the crash is gone now.
I spoke too soon :(

Game still crashes after a few seconds and the crash loop continues every time I try to enter the zone.

Hope its related to crashes others are seeing and we get a fix soon.
I have the same problem. When I enter the Act 2 Cruel: The Dreadnought, it closes and goes to the desktop.

I'm reinstalling the game to see if that will work.

Update: I reinstalled it and it was working. However, every time I walk a little it freezes on the map.

Running into the same issue, the moment I move forward and start fighting it crashes
would you happen to be using a companion skill gem? if so next time instance resets remove it entirely, that may fix the issue

Apologies for the late reply, disabling my Crested Behemoth solved the issue. rest in piece my useless buddy and thanks for the solution
fascinating, i was ALSO using crested behemoth. wonder if its because the model is too large for spaces on the maps. this seems likely to be the cause. also glad i could help

Same thing here, I also used Tamed Beast with Crested Behemoth.
