The game crashes or shows an error code. What do I do?

ConfirmedNumbers from Season 1

First check whether it is your end. Errors 1413677057 and 1628505085 mean online services are unreachable. They are server-side, so do not reinstall. 1147405308 is a build mismatch: verify your game files in Steam. 1628505091, the launch join timeout, was fixed by Hotfix #1 and needs a client restart.

Anti-cheat failures (0xc0000142, "anti-cheat service refused", "Please unload X.sys", blue screens or reboots) are usually caused by RGB or hardware-monitoring kernel drivers such as inpoutx64.sys. The reported fix is to stop and disable that driver service, repair the anti-cheat install, then verify files.

Which anti-cheat it is remains unresolved. The Steam store names Elytra kernel-level anti-cheat, while community troubleshooting refers to an EasyAntiCheat folder. More than one system may be involved.

Season 1 fixed several crash paths, including buildables, the chat box and frame generation, and Patch 0.11 addressed more GPU crashes. Update the game before you troubleshoot anything else.
