[2021] Outriders crash after the intro (latest patch) -UE4 Madness

Reposting my advice from steam regarding this matter:

Here's a round up of suggested resolutions for this issue:

Try restarting your PC. The crash issue may resolve itself after a few crashes or after a PC restart. Example:

If it's a persistent crash, please try the below:

• Please try switching to DX11 mode. You can force this with the following if you don't get the option automatically:
  • In Steam : Outriders Demo -> Manage -> Properties -> Launch option-> Write the below in the textbox without the " "
  • "-force -dx11"

Additionally, please check whether your intro movie has been renamed or deleted. If it has, please try renaming it to it's original name and launching the game then.

• The file should be here:
  • Steam\steamapps\common\OUTRIDERS\Madness\Content\Movies\splash_screens.umovie

Please try verifying the integrity of your Steam installation game files in order to redownload any other corrupted files.

Finally, this link will explain a number of other resolutions that may help resolve this issue which may be .dll specific, including:

• Applying all windows updates
• Fixing corrupted files via Command Prompt
• Disable overclocking
• Update or do a clean install of GPU drivers
• Reinstall Visual C++ Redis.

We are already working on a fix for this issue and will implement it as soon as we can.
