  • #858 Game: Longshot closed unexpectedly during the start β€” Related repeatable startup crash on rc.4 with NVIDIA, but different GPU and no stated shader-preparation stage.
  • #856 Game: Longshot closed unexpectedly during the start β€” Related repeatable startup crash in rc.4; distinct AMD report.
  • #462 Game: shader preparation hard-freezes the whole PC (no TDR, no watchdog) β€” RX 9070 XT, Windows β€” Concerns failure during shader preparation, but a whole-PC hard freeze on AMD rather than this app closing on NVIDIA.
