Hello! I can see that you are using a VEGA GPU. Please try to downgrade your drivers to version 21.10.2
https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/previous-drivers.html/graphics/radeon-rx/radeon-rx-vega-series/radeon-rx-vega-56.html
This was mentioned in https://reforger.armaplatform.com/known-issues
I hope this will help.

Will try even though I'm running custom AMD drivers and have my vega56 flashed to a 64 bios, undoing all that is not going to be pleasant since the game has been working fine

Now I am hoping that I am not wrong, but in the past, there were multiple players having the problem of instantly crashing when loading into the scenario, and they were using VEGA GPU, and the only way to fix it for them was to switch to an older version of the drivers. Maybe there were some updates to the drivers that broke it for you?

These custom drivers don't automatically update, which is why I find this so strange, the game was just fine, all I did was try to raise texture settings from lowest to low and it crashed while ingame, then I undid the setting on the main menu and loaded into the game and it worked just fine, and then the next time I tried to start it, no matter what, it crashes just when loading the main scenario, and it's even weirder since whenever I try to load any map on the workbench the same thing happens, it doesn't crash unless I click on the screen various times and then windows says its frozen, and CPU and Ram usage go way up.

Okay it seems like driver version 21.10.2 works but I shouldn't have to use a 5 year old driver to play this game, might fix this one but break newer titles, still I guess it can be set to resolved.

If there is any debugging I can do with my gpu to help you get it working with the latest drivers I would be more than glad to help.

Thanks for the details. The GPU you're using is now considered legacy by AMD, which means newer drivers are no longer optimized for it and can sometimes reduce performance rather than improve it. On top of that, ongoing updates to our engine and Windows updates can further affect performance on older hardware.

In 1.8 experimental, I played just fine a bunch of times, today I decided to start it up again and changed texture filtering from highest to lowest before being ingame, and now no matter what I try to join, singleplayer gamemaster or a multiplayer server, its back to the same, crashes as soon as the loading finishes.

Hello. I will need your logs again to check what is wrong now.

Can't edit this to include new logs, is there any other way to send them to you?

Hi, please try it again and let me know. I've set the ticket to NEED MORE INFO

Done but I think I found the problem, windows forced new drivers even though I have auto update disabled on radeon software and supposedly on windows too, but maybe the logs can help find why it crashes on the latest drivers, I get worse FPS on these older drivers, Adrenalin 26.5.2 (WHQL Recommended) is the latest version that supports my GPU, from the AMD website itself.

Latest update seems to have fixed this issue, ran the game with two of the latest drivers for vega56 and no crashes so far.
