Reports dating back to as late as 4 days ago have been making rounds on the r/remnantgame subreddit, with many confirming that performing random actions, such as opening the in-game inventory, crashes the entire thing. A manual fix that some Redditors seem to be standing by involves uninstalling the DLC, launching Remnant 2, exiting it, and then finally reinstalling The Awakened King again.
