- **fixed** — Fixed DLSS-related crashes
- **added** — Added validator for user configuration files to reduce client crashes from incorrect configuration values

##### The servers will be down for a scheduled game update tomorrow @ 6am PDT. Please see the patch notes below for fixes and added changes.

##### Client crashes

As promised last Friday, we have prepared fixes for two types of client crashes:

- **DLSS-related crashes** — you can now safely use DLSS again.

- **Invalid values in user configuration files** — a new validator for user configuration files will significantly reduce the chances of client crashes caused by incorrect configuration values.

Please let us know in Discord whether these fixes have resolved the crashes in your case.

We will continue investigating other types of client crashes and will share further updates this week if we identify additional root causes.
