3. Disable Voice Chat
Although it may sound weird, players have reported that using the in-game voice chat feature is causing their Remnant 2 to crash. If you’re playing with your friends, using voice chat is a must-have feature to have. However, unless Gunfire Games releases a permanent solution, disabling the voice chat will be the best course of action to prevent crashes. Meanwhile, you can use Discord or TeamSpeak to communicate with your friends.
To disable voice chat in Remnant 2:

2. Next, you need to open your Windows File Explorer and then paste the following path:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Remnant\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
3. Now, open the Engine.ini file with Notepad
4. Once you open up Engine.ini, scroll down to the bottom and paste the following lines:
[Voice]
bEnabled=False
[OnlineSubsystem]
bHasVoiceEnabled=False
5. Save the code or press ctrl + s and close the file. This will disable your in-game voice chat option completely. If your game was crashing due to the voice chat feature, it should now be resolved.
6. Open Remnant 2
