The apparent hotfix did not fix the recurring crash upon trying to exit the airlock. I'm currently unable to progress in the slightest no matter which graphical options are selected. I haven't seen any update on a fix for this game breaking bug. Is the development team aware of the issue and working on a fix? Sucks that such an awesome game is marred by such a terrible issue.
I got past the airlock point yall are talking about by lowering my settings to medium. However, the grass isn't too much greener on the other side the game will continue to crash hard at various points outside the ship. Disappointing.
did you try adjusting page flipping with your virtual memory. I did with my 970 card and lowered the settings. Got outside and running with little stutter. It is amazing outside the ship.
While I never crashed from the game, I did have a few moments where I had to restart myself after the game progressively got more and more frame drops. Didn't occur again when I went at it the second time (went through it in two playtimes), but it still had all the telltales of a leak.
Update: Not a crash since changing the size of the page file. It would seem that this could've been the answer problem, however it may not work for all.
