This issue only occurs under certain circumstances and during normal gameplay will not occur
the issue is a very specific one, an unable to init dxgi crash
caused by switching surround sound settings in windows while the game is running
now there are some facts to establish
- it only happens when changing surround sound options to one of the following none, windows sonic, Dolby, DTS during the game's runtime regardless of what is happening [meaning it can happen in the menu too]
- with mods or optional DLC, windows sonic gets selected as default but not on pure vanilla
- memory allocation settings or parameter settings in general do not affect it
