According to Hans-Kristian Arntzen, a prominent open-source developer working on Vkd3d, a DirectX 12 to Vulkan translation layer, Starfield is not interacting properly with graphics card drivers.

Are you playing on PC/Steam? Something weird happened to me yesterday where an exit save wouldn't load. Upon trying an earlier save, I found none would load (game crashed to desktop when selecting). I could not figure it out.

On a whim I verified files in Steam, which triggered a 30 MB update. After verification, my exit save worked fine. I'm at a loss for why core files would change.

Yup, steam with a Ryzen 5600x and rx 6800xt. I've tried verifying the game files a couple times. I'll give it another go in a bit. I'd love for there to be a change but I think I'm in that weird category that should work fine but it's just borked. The game ran great otherwise. Just trying to load saves and on the one attempt that actually works if I try to enter Caledonia it's an automatic I have to reboot my system.
