The game worked fine (occasional crashes but restarting the game resolved them) until I got to Fort Frolic. Once I got to taking elevator to Sander Cohen, I attempted to save the game which resulted in a game crash. Since then the game started to crash after only a few seconds of playing it (just moving around or traveling to a different map or using any vending machine or saving game or loading game - absolutely anything can crash the game now). Even the old saved games started to crash. Many many many attempts to resolve it produced no solution or even progress toward solution. Horrible...

UPDATE: installed Windows updates, upgraded GPU drivers, rebooted, stopped saving the game in the open areas of Fort Frolic (where the light shines from above). The game still crashes every 2-3 minutes, but at least one can make some progress.

no longer runs on steam deck at all

PLlaying this in 2026 over RDR2 and Cyber Punk. Many wont get it. Its not all about graphics
