[Bug] Using the skull of liberty mask with -dx12 launch option crashes the game

23 votes

Description : Like in the title running the game with -dx12 launch options argument and if either you or someone else equips the skull of liberty mask the game will crash.

How to reproduce : On steam go to the game properties in launch options write -dx12, Launch the game and equip the skull of liberty mask

Additional information : System specs CPU i3 10105F|RAM 16 GB|GPU RTX 3060TI 8GB|OS Win 11

Fix : Remove -dx12 from launch options. Relaunch the game and unequip the skull of liberty mask. Close the game, Add -dx12 back to your launch options. (that is if you want to play the game with this argument. If someone else is wearing the mask you can just restart the game after the crash. Otherwise you can keep the mask on without using -dx12 launch option)

Equipping the mask causes the game to instantly crash, and you cannot unequip it due to the fact that when you boot up the game the mask instantly loads in causing a crash.

Very easy to replicate and I can't put a screenshot because my game crashes

After equipping the liberty mask my game crashed. Now when opening the game my heister has the mask equipped, which causes the game to crash again immediately upon reopening.

The Liberty Skull mask causes a crash to desktop instantly, in a previous suggestion I said it was easy to replicate ( I am stupid ) the reason why it crashes is if you have -dx12 in your steam launch options only then does it crash.

When equipping the liberty mask the game is fine, but as soon as you go to the home screen, the game will crash and then it will keep crashing whenever you launch it.

Switching masks right before loading into a heist crashes the game. After restarting it continues to crash. If it helps: the mask i switched from / to was a special content bonus mask.
