What remains unknown

• The post does not enumerate every crash signature covered by the general stability work.
• It does not state that all reported PC crashes are resolved.
• It does not make the PC rollout a confirmation for PS5.
• It does not publish a numeric build string in the announcement.

Before troubleshooting an old symptom

Confirm that Steam has installed the update, restart the game, and read the build string in the pause menu. If the symptom persists, match it against a dedicated issue page instead of assuming the broad crash line applies.
