Dreamseeker.exe keeps randomly crashing
It's been happening since i upgraded to a new pc.

I'm currently using a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070.

I was previously on windows 11 pro, i tried formatting, the error persists, i have just now downgraded and do a fresh install of windows 10 home, and the error still happening on a fresh install. Whenever the game crashes, it points to few different dlls as being the faulty module, a recurrent one is ntdll.dll and another recurrent dll used to be nvd3dum.dll.

The crashes are quite frequent which makes it hard to play, sometimes it stays "stable" and only crashes once or twice, others crashes constantly in short periods of time.

I have no issues with other games, no crashes, nothing weird, only byond is crashing.

I added the last 3 crashes dmp files here in case that helps

Since i freshly installed w10 again, the Byond app itself, crashes sometimes when i open it, before it even loads the pager, with pretty much the same errors. Will likely go back to w11 since the error happens here aswell

I'll need minidumps to debug these issues, I think. The one in byondwin.dll is the only one I can actually look into and it isn't telling me anything.

Because you're crashing in so many places, this looks a lot like system instability rather than a software issue.
I have added 3 crash dumps on the last link that i had before reinstalling w11 again. Not sure if thats the ones you need, if there's something i can do to get you more information into it just tell me what i should do because i'm out of ideas and things to test.

And this crashes only happen with byond, no other game so far has any issues.

What i'm currently testing is editing the affinity and leaving only CPU0, May be lucky for now, but i haven't crashed yet, will keep testing.
