Bump! A week ago, my brother mentioned this game as an option for co-op play. Since I hardly ever get to see him anymore, and online play is the main way we connect, I bought the game– and promptly crashed my computer (as detailed in this thread). > [@What's the cheapest video card worth buying now?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-the-cheapest-video-card-worth-buying-now/998573/24): > > Lord have mercy, I might be pushing up the date of buying that card. I installed Enshrouded on Monday, and the game crashed over and over. No worries, I got this: some online research, and I found a guide on the game’s Discord to diagnose and treat the kind of crash I was getting. I went through it last night, step by step, until I got to the point where I used the [Display Driver Uninstaller](https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/) app in preparation for a clean install of my drivers. Ran the app, restarted the computer. No monitor s… An incredibly kind soul, who may or may not wish to remain anonymous, offered to let me borrow a more robust video card; and on installing it, I found that Enshrouded works, and is _fabulous._ The building system is more robust than Valheim’s, with a few kinks that might be more a “me” problem than a “them” problem (or at least, they just need some better tooltips to explain what’s happening). The addition of a deep skill/leveling system is a welcome change. There are a ton of quests and a ton of lore. And the map has edges on it that are ripe for expansion. It’s not perfect. The combat could use some fine-tuning, to make different attack types feel really different. My game crashes about once every two hours. Some voice-acting with the quests would be appreciated. But the bones of the game are very, very good, and I’m definitely hooked. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-playing-enshrouded/996934)._
