This morning, developer Hexworks released a new Lords of the Fallen patch (version 1.1.191) on PC. This new update attempts to fix several crash issues. To do so, it temporarily disables NVIDIA DLSS 3 (Frame Generation) until the developers, with the help of NVIDIA, can improve its stability.

PC users were also reporting crash instances right after the first cinematic. This has been fixed, too, with the help of Epic.
An issue with the engine code related to the calculation of Pipeline State Objects (PSOs) has been identified in Sentry. This issue resulted in crashes when shaders were being compiled after the first cinematic of the game.
