Here are a few tips if EMERGENCY doesn't run or runs instable for you, based on what we saw in received crash dumps:

• Verify your Steam installation of EMERGENCY: A corrupt installation can cause random crashes
  
• Ensure you meet the minimum hardware requirements listed at the bottom of the EMERGENCY Steam store page
  
• Update your graphics driver: We're using Unreal Engine 5.1 and outdated GPU drivers can cause incompatibilities
  
• Third party software like video capturing or optimization tools might interfere with EMERGENCY, try disabling them
