With the lastest patch before the next DLC, which also causes regular crashes each 50 min, it introduced a nice little file called EOS-.dll is 2020.08.13 which launches the EOSOverlayRenderer-Win64-Shipping.exe. What does that do? It is used to connect to EPIC store serves in order to enable crossplay with epic store players, and to send your data to EPIC for "online game capability".
Well everyone could just play online fine on STEAM before that mandatory EPIC crossplay patch. Now people regularly crash, have FPS drops, have unreasonable stuttering and crashes out of the blue when the game was just running fine before.
I did NOT sign up for this. I brought the game on STEAM and not EPIC. It is beyond scummy to force the EPIC services onto STEAM users.
So thanks to this patch the game is unplayable if you want to protect your data. ♥♥♥♥ this game, ♥♥♥♥ those greedy devs.
DO NOT BUY. STAY AWAY IF YOUR DATA MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU.
