huh? Less responses than a thread asking if VA is legal
Sure I bet it's annoying for those affected, but it's not setting the internet on fire quite yet
Continual crashes - any response from FDEV?

Also, I assume that file does something important, else it'd not exist. Is it one of these that the game will just regenerate if deleted? Going to see if my game crashes, not played in a few days as the servers have been dead flaky.
My Steam account works just fine, but from Oculus I cant get passed the shader prep screen unless I delete that file. When I delete that file the Oculus account works perfectly.

Significant enough that they posted on twitter about it.

Not saying it's not a thing - just not a big thing as some seem to be trying to spin things
There are 112 additional entries in the original ticket and many (like me) don't like that tracker so much that they bother to add another one, I presume
O7,
O7,
They are the type not to answer unless they have an answer to give, so the logical conclusion is they don't have a fix yet and don't know when there might be one.
OK so I have just spent 2 hours checking this "work around" and can confirm.
Deleting the file fsave_optionsXXX in %APPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options lets the game run with no problems - BUT:
then exiting and starting again produces the CTD crash within minutes of starting the game.
So - workaround of deleting that file EVERY TIME you want to start the game, allows the game to run normally.
What on earth causes this as a result of server maintenance yesterday? ¯\(ツ)/¯
BTW - I believe @sallymorganmoore has already passed on this information to the devs.

In case this can help others, here's the workaround that worked for me.
Momentary Server Downtime | 18.08
Greetings Commanders. From approximately 5:30 BST this afternoon, the Elite Dangerous Live servers will be briefly offline for some minor, extended routine maintenance. Downtime should be momentary. An in game '30 minute warning' broadcast will be served from approximately 5:00 PM BST o7...
Interesting.
It seems that for some people, not everyone, whatever they changed/activated during the last maintenance on server side is inducing a CTD to the game client.
It may be relevant to certain machine configs or apps running
What's that file content?
I suppose it is machine code, I don't have an editor that can view it, notepad just shows:
... 2 posts above you.

If you'd taken the time to actually go read the reddit thread, you'd have seen that it's different from your workaround proposition, hence mine. Deleting the file didn't change anything for me, nor for many others (again, read the reddit thread).

i see the same workaround, namely delete the above mentioned file, and then one other post recommend using older nvidia drivers, which may look as nonsense since the op from reddit mentions using amd hardware - so new nvidia drivers wont crash amd hardware, right?
