Just because of the nature of the crash error message, it is probably a good idea to ensure your video card drivers are up to date, and validate the install. My guess is something is wrong with the blink asset, either the actual asset itself or how its attempting to be rendered.

Make sure to hit the send option, I can bump this in the channel but unsure when someone will be able to look.

When you launch Smite 2 it should also give you an option between DX11 and DX12, could try swapping and seeing if you have any results. Also if you have changed any graphical settings from defaults, maybe try to set them back (and if this results in a fix, I would love to know what setting changed it for you).

hey hey, sorry that i ask a offtopic question, but i can't login for whatever reason. it always says the login information is invalid. i tried to google it for a fix, but didn't find anything. i start the game through the steamapps folder (iirc it's called hemingway), because if i start the game through steam itself, it says i can only run the game with one command (either -dx11, -dx12 or -vulcan i believe). i use the -dx11 thingy and it worked a month ago. if i don't use the -dx11 thingy, the game won't start at all and it chrashes before the game even launches 🤷🏻‍♂️

i also don't have the option to chose between dx11 and dx12 at the start (i toggled on "ask at the start" in steam settings), hence why i use the -dx11 thingy.

i just wanna play smite 2 😅

I imagine not launching it through steam is going to cause some authentication errors. If you remove the command line argument it should prompt you with the option.

If you aren't seeing it Right Click Smite 2 -> Properties -> General -> Launch Options -> Selected Launch Option -> Ask When Starting Game. This should get you the prompt again at least.

Aside from that I am unsure.
