      My faf games are randomly crashing ~15 minutes into a game. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

      I've already tried switching to stereo and had no luck.

      The FAF error log:

      game_15476247.log

      The end of the log:

        Aside from some general errors - the likely cause is right there at the bottom - SND and XACT. These errors are generated by your sound hardware being set to surround mode instead of stereo. Surround will cause the game to crash randomly, sometimes early sometimes late.

        While you may have set your hardware to stereo, Microsoft has some virtual surround settings they bury in there - and I'll bet those might still be turned on (they have a nasty habit of turning those things back on when they do updates - and they don't tell you).

          Thank you for the response. I went through and disabled all of my other audio devices and made sure there was no surround sound at all. However, the crashes still occur. The SND and XACT are no longer in the logs though. I will add the log again here.. Any idea what might still be causing the issue? Help is appreciated!

            As a follow up, I was able to grab the error popup shown when the game crashes:

              These are very strange stack traces. We'll look at it, but it is likely only your system that is having these type of errors.

              There are also sound errors in your log:

              78187c4f-1c7d-492a-b3e0-53658e2bb2d7-image.png

              Did you see the topics on the forum about sound errors?
