Explanation

Crash: same code offset, random address each time. Ruled out: driver frame-gen (AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2.1, AMD FSR Frame Generation), in-game FSR, exclusive vs windowed fullscreen, all overlays (Adrenalin metrics overlay, Discord) — all disabled/tested individually, crash persists under every configuration. All crashes trace to the same code offset (+21439522) in DeadByDaylight_EGS_Shipping, reached via different call paths (RenderThread 0 and various Background Worker threads), each time dereferencing a different invalid address (0x8, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, 0x100000, 0x0000030003000002) — consistent with a race condition or uninitialized read rather than a fixed trigger. Occurred in 5 separate sessions. Hardware: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (16GB VRAM), 32GB RAM, Windows 11 25H2. Platform: Epic Games Store client.
