Could you run task manager while the game runs? I want to know how the processes are being handled in your PC. It's likely you're running out of ram or something during the game as it needs to create a jpg file in your PC after you take it. So if you don't have the hardware needed or if there is hardware errors it might give you some issues.

I ran task manager, and that showed a massive spike in the "3D", "Copy 1", and "Compute 0" graphs at the moment the game crashed after taking a photo. The memory usage graphs looked normal though (I got 32GB of RAM, and 16GB VRAM).

I also ran Resource Monitor and that showed "5 Hard Faults/sec" for this game at the moment of the crash, there's also a spike that goes off the charts on the hard faults graph.

I genuinely hope this isn't bad hardware, this PC is not that old lol.

It might be fam. We will be changing how the saves work soon so it might solve the issue. Not sure. To me it reads like it is having issues creating new files.

but what bad hardware would it be? This all makes no sense to me. How is taking pictures going to be responsible for taking up too much ram or doing anything that drastic to cause a crash after like 3 photos?

Because until you save the photos it keeps them in ram temporarily. Normally it's not an issue as the computer is capable of managing it but if there are faults it will have issues.

Hello again,

Thank you for implementing a potential fix. After testing the update, I noticed I was still encountering the issue. After doing some research into similar issues other people had that was comparable to mine with other games, I found the possible cause, which was overclocking. I just found that my video card's management software had my GPU in overclock mode, so I set everything to default and now the game's running perfectly fine (apart from some random lag spikes that I'm unsure if it's just optimization issues or not), regardless, at least my game's not crashing to the desktop anymore!

Oh that is strange. Perhaps it was using all available resources or something like that. I will pass this on to the team. Very strange.

If this helps at all, I've got an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, and the GPU management software mentioned above is "AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition". The software was configured for the "quality" preset, and so changing that to the "default" preset is what fixed it. Let me know if there's any other way I can help!
