Hi,
I've been trying 3 times in a row to launch the game, but it always crashes my entire PC during the "Optimising Shaders" process. At around 68%, it suddenly crashes while CPU usage remains at 100% at all times. I always get either one of the two BSOD messages:

  • 012022-5187-01.dmp 20.01.2022 10:42:05 IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000a fffff800`2904dcc4 00000000`00000002 00000000`00000000 fffff800`6e63e2d6 Ntfs.sys Ntfs.sys+dd835 x64 ntoskrnl.exe+3f72e0 C:\Windows\Minidump\012022-5187-01.dmp 20 15 19041 426.879 20.01.2022 10:42:55

My drivers are OK. Extraction is the only game out of 15 I have installed that consistently crashes my pc. Any advice?

Here's the specs:
i9-10850k (OC to 5.1 Ghz)
RTX 3080
32gb RAM
Windows 10 21H2

UPDATE:
For me, turning off MSI Afterburner during the "Optimising shaders" process fixed it. No BSODs anymore
