Is this just me, or is anyone else experiencing a lot of crashes?
I thought I'd ask here before tearing my system apart to check it. I don't have problems with other games, but TD2 falls over painfully often for me since the last update.
EDIT: Thanks to those of you who took the trouble to reply, it seems I'm not alone.

Xbox one. Three crashes today. One turned my box off. The other two. froze.
It’s been brutal lately. I’m on an Xbox One X and tend to play 3+ hours when I get the time to play and I’m honestly not sure if I’ve played once over the past few weeks where it didn’t freeze the screen requiring a reboot or crash me back to the Xbox home screen. Some days it has happened twice. Love this game but wow does it get frustrating.
The first and more common questions are "are you playing on DX12? If yes then disable it" and "did you perform a clean install of the game and video drivers? If not then do it".
Can confirm that DX12 was the cause of my crashing issues so definitely disable it if you are having issues.
So I played TD2 earlier this year with no issues. Came back to play it yesterday and had encountered crashes after 30 minutes. Before I started to play it again I turned on DX12. Came here looking for answers and saw your suggestion to turn it off. Will check to see if it works and will be back with a reply later on.
It worked... stopped crashing after 30 min.
Opposite for me. Since the last update I was having crashes every half hour or so on DX11.
Swapped back to DX12 and now it's stable again.
I seem to be swapping between rendering options every few updates at the moment. The game is a complete mess from a stability standpoint.
I have also changed GPU manufacturers since the game launched - at first I was on a GTX 1080 and now I have a 5700XT.
Stability seems to be a shit show on both platforms.

DX12? If yes then disable it
Not working on DX12 is insane in 2020, it's not exactly raw new tech anymore. TD1 definitely crashed on DX12 quite reliably, but TD2 has worked on DX12 since day 1.
On my console ps4 no crashing since a lot of month maybe because i play on disc and no download play
I did a complete format and reinstall of windows and it still crashes. Its just the game bud not much you can do about it besides bitch and moan till the developers do something.
That doesn't seem to work on Massive.
