Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Elite Dangerous
  • Steam AppID of the game: 359320

System Information

I confirm:

  • [X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

After starting the game, the shader step works fine and then the next step about "Planetary Generation" crashes the game immediately.

I have found other reports but they were all for Intel ARC graphics. This here is with an AMD GPU and I wonder what's wrong on my end?

Reproduction

Start the game, wait for it to go through initialization, crash
