[Update] I’ve narrowed root cause to be the enabled Optional GPU Features under Options/Graphics/Compatibility Settings. Disabling resolves the crashes described below.
I’m suspecting this is a character rendering issue inside the character window when changing gear. Crash shuts the game down completely followed by useless crash report. Any Mac/Windows users have the same issue?
Character window is default UI. Work around is to equip gear from bag without the character window open. If you need the character window for gear set changes, it may be possible to avoid the rendering crash by immediately hitting ESC key quickly after equipping different gear.
