When my Sony wh1000xm2 Bluetooth Headphones are shut off or lose power causes application crash, ( "_ is not responding" popup, white screen, faded window etc)

Window closes fine, game save is fine. Repeatable.

Switching audio in windows sound options does not initiate the crash.

Does not affect any other device I tried:
logitech mx keys keyboard in 2.4ghz or bluetooth modes
corsair usb 2.4ghz headphones
3.5mm headphones in front panel
3.5mm headphones in mb line out

I do not have other bluetooth audio devices to try.

Unfortunately, this has been a known issue and a problem for a long time. It appears to be any Bluetooth device disconnection that causes it. The equally unfortunate response that people get is, "don't disconnect your headphones/device during play" or "make sure your Bluetooth devices are fully charged," neither of which are very satisfactory answers I'm afraid. We see this reported so often that people have just stopped replying to it.

I'll see if I can find and link to one of the posts that explain why, if I don't find one fast enough, you might try using forum search. It is an underlying issue with what the game was built on that can't be remedied easily and sounds like an "overhaul" project that the willingness to do might be lacking on. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

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
