How to Report Crashes First, enable Crash Dump Mode via the loader - you can go do this via opening the loader -> Login -> Settings Tab -> Enable Crash Dump Mode Don't enable this function unless you were told to do so by an admin as it is a risky option in term of stability and security. Don't forget to disable it after reporting the crash. Once you crash, navigate to the Escape from Tarkov folder, and you should see a file named BsgCrashDump.dmp. You can then upload the file via mega.nz or workupload.com

Again, don't forget to disable this function AFTER you reported you uploaded the crash.
