Patch Notes and Updates

Turn Off Frame Generation

Try turning off the frame generation option and relaunch your game through Steam to see if the issue gets fixed.

Although this is recommended to be turned on to lessen load times in-game, see if you can progress fine without it first, then turn them on after confirming if the issue is fixed.

Troubleshoot Your PC

As a general fix to all bugs and errors, troubleshoot your PC and perform general fixes. If these do nothing, make sure to check and update your drivers!

After performing the general troubleshoot, restart your PC and relaunch the game on Steam to see if it still occurs.
