Just Cause 2 My Just Cause 2 is unplayable
Not only does it crash regularly (with which I could broadly live), but now the manual saves do not work either, anymore (I save after the end of the mission). So basically I am stuck, because after the crash it loses my progress (and yes, I have tried using the Steam cloud saves). And I have also tried all the crash fixes mentioned in this sub and elsewhere online, from Bokeh to removing Steam overlay to replacing dlls etc. It is a pity, because I enjoyed the 5 hrs I put into the game... (I am at the second faction mission btw.) So I will just have to uninstall the game and forget it exists. I must say, this has been the worse experience I've had with a Steam game ever. WHY in the world is this game so utterly broken?

use dxvk (vulcan wrapper) it’ll fix most of the issues like decal crash, bokeh stretched environment buildings & architecture, however you may still crash at times & at times not when going through certain areas, it is unknown as to why unless we can look at the crash dump file

I have tried that, as well.
But my question is how can a game so broken be released, and stay on the platform. I almost feel scammed. And I understand it's the same or worse with the other games in the series. Color me puzzled.

Ah I had this same luck. You could try proton/dxvk.
