Breach crash

Game crashes on any type of interaction with breach mechanic on maps/acts, I had to walk around on first breach encounter to pass act 6. I noticed if i don't kill anything I can walk around it, but any kill in breach causes game to crash.

cpu 13900k
gpu rtx4090
64 ram

Followed by tech support post on crash topic on forum I try"

delete all cache in %appdata%
update gpu driver
change dx11,12,vulkan (dx12 works best on my pc)
Verified files on steam, then after noticing it did not help i completely reinstall the game.

at the moment issue persists not only for me but people I know also having the same issue.

I do have the same problem but not all the time (I'm in map). Sometimes I can breeze through the map without problem and other time just firing inside the breach cause me to instantly crash.

CPU 14700KF
GPU 3080Ti
32Go Ram

I did everything as you did (delete cache / switching renderer etc) but nothing work.

Hope it's soon resolved

Which skill(s) does your character use? (Support gems aren't important.)

Elemental Hit of the Spectrum hitting a Breach wall is what causes your crashes.

Maybe spec into Enemy at the Gates on your Atlas passive tree until GGG releases a fix.
