What Patch 0.05.007 officially fixes
The August 29 developer announcement identifies a critical crash caused by AMD FSR Frame Generation. It says the crash is resolved in Patch 0.05.007 and that affected players should be able to start the game normally after updating. This page addresses that named launch failure. It does not assume every crash, freeze, or graphics problem has the same cause.
Frame Generation is temporarily disabled while the developer investigates the underlying cause. Standard FSR remains available. That distinction is important when checking the graphics menu after the update. A missing Frame Generation control is consistent with the temporary official state, while ordinary FSR can still appear and be used as the game exposes it.
First response: update, restart, and verify the build
Allow Steam to finish downloading FEAR OF FAITH, then restart the Steam client and launch the game from the library. Check the visible version information when available and compare it with Patch 0.05.007. If a co-op session is involved, every participant should update because Patch 0.05.005 already states that different game versions cannot connect.
Do not use the calendar date as proof that an update was installed. Steam can remain open while a download is queued, paused, or incomplete. The useful evidence is the installed build and a clean launch attempt after the client finishes. Record the exact visible message or crash point if the symptom remains so a later report can distinguish startup, loading, menu, and session failures.
Keep the settings save file
The developer explicitly says there is no need to delete the settings save file after this fix. Keep it in place. The patch was designed so players blocked by the named Frame Generation crash can launch after updating without sacrificing their saved configuration. Removing local data would make the result harder to compare and could discard useful state without official support.
If the game opens, review the current graphics controls rather than trying to restore Frame Generation. Its temporary absence is expected in this build. Standard FSR remains available according to the same announcement. Choose from the options that the live game provides and remember that Early Access rendering controls can change again in a later patch.
If the same launch symptom remains
Confirm once more that Steam has completed Patch 0.05.007, close the game fully, and retry from the Steam library. Steam's built-in file verification can be used when the installed files may be incomplete or damaged. It is a bounded platform check that does not require altering personal configuration. After it completes, make one controlled launch attempt and note whether the failure occurs at the same point.
A different error message, a crash after reaching the menu, or a failure that began after 0.05.007 may be a separate case. Do not label it as the fixed Frame Generation crash solely because the computer uses AMD hardware. Capture the game version, Windows version, GPU model, driver version, exact message, and the last visible screen for a concise support report.
Separate a graphics launch failure from a network failure
The Frame Generation issue prevents or interrupts launch. Multiplayer symptoms occur after the game reaches its session flow and can involve invites, lobby searches, networking, version mismatch, kicks, or server crashes. Patch 0.05.007 repairs several network features, while 0.05.005 adds clearer disconnect reasons. Use the message and stage of failure to choose the correct guide.
When one squad member cannot launch, resolve that local startup boundary before changing lobby settings for everyone. When all members can launch but cannot connect, align versions and use the multiplayer checklist. Keeping these paths separate prevents repeated session changes from obscuring a local graphics problem and prevents hardware assumptions from obscuring a version mismatch.
Prepare an evidence-rich official report
If the problem remains after the official update and one controlled verification pass, use the official Steam Community or developer channels. State that Patch 0.05.007 is installed, quote the exact message, identify when the failure occurs, and list the hardware and software versions. Attach a short reproduction path instead of a long sequence of unrelated experiments.
Check the patch ledger before repeating the process later. A newer developer update may restore Frame Generation, change its temporary status, or identify a different cause. This page will follow the newest official announcement and keep 0.05.007 as the dated source for the resolved crash and the instruction to preserve the settings save.
