Hi
If this started immediately after the latest Windows update, please check Settings > Windows Update > Update history. If KB5121003 was installed, this update has been reported to cause ARC Raiders crashes on some PCs due to a driver compatibility issue.
The most effective workaround currently is to uninstall KB5121003 from Update history > Uninstall updates, restart the PC, then test the game again. Microsoft’s instructions are here:
After restarting, also verify the game files in Steam: ARC Raiders > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. Embark recommends this for crash issues:
