No Rest for the Wicked’s crashes could be tied to a memory leak. I noticed the game seemed to be using an unreasonable amount of RAM. My system has 16GB, but No Rest for the Wicked ate that up in no time, which shouldn’t have been happening for a game of this caliber. This led me to believe there may be a memory leak issue causing the crashes.

These crashes were first experienced by PC players playing No Rest for the Wicked on Steam since the game decided to have a delayed launch for consoles like PlayStation and Xbox.

In the meantime, just make sure you’re regularly saving your game in No Rest for the Wicked to avoid losing any progress in the event of a crash.
