- Details: Every single time there is an update, wheter it be big or small, my game always crashes. After having to delete and reinstall my entire list of 450+ mods after _ **last months** _ update, I finally got my game to work. Everything was smooth sailing until this v. 0.7.3 hotfix update. Over the last 2 days, I have tried every suggested solution that I can find to resolve this issue. I have closed all background applications, updated and validated all of my mods( They were all updated either on 04/07 or after the big anniversary update on 03/27. Every one was listed ‘Valid’), updated my drivers, increased my VRAM, turned off ray tracing, lowered resolution in settings. Nothing has worked. I cannot get my game to load, nor can I start a new game or use CAZ. I couldnt play the game if I wanted to right now. At this point, Im putting Inzoi down for a while. I have fought tooth and nail with this game since I bought it and Im tired. I dont feel like deleting and reinstalling 482 mods just to get the game to work.
