I'm playing and the game crashed when i unplugged my headphones, Steam version.

The game pick up the sound settings at the start of the launch (exactly at this moment) and the sound output for game can't be switched while playing. That is how game works! Just stop changing audio devices while playing and it will be fine.

Players have been complaining about this problem for a long time. Just don't change the audio device while playing.

I was about to ask out of curiosity, if CA has said this is a "won't fix" issue and if there was any reasoning behind that, but I found an old post on it that provided a bit of added context. I'm not sure if it is helpful to add or not:

Unfortunately, this is an internal issue with what the game was built on, so you can't change audio devices while the game is open without it freezing/crashing. The fix is at least simple (either don't have headphones plugged in, or don't unplug your headphones) but I understand it's really frustrating. Hopefully this can be fixed sometime down the line, but it's a pretty deep-rooted issue

Yeah, this was an issue I had when playing the game too, especially since my old computer didn't have speakers so I HAD to use my headphones, and there was the occasional time something would happen and I'd disconnect and then crash hahaha. I really wish this was something that could be dealt with much easier, and something I've even talked to the devs about but it's just not really a feasible fix for the time being
