A large majority of the time when a player leaves the game after playing, their game crashes when they are in the loading screen. This is most likely resulted from a failure in re-loading the Fortnite lobby itself.
I have logs if needed.

Steps to Reproduce
Load into a game. Play for a bit. Exit the game as you usually would. During the loading screen there is a high chance you will experience a crash.
I didn’t expect this to have any connection to in-Island transactions. From the logs it appears to be an issue with Fortnite re-loading the lobby. It could be due to Directx12 - but either way that is something worth reporting that should be explored by Epic. We have 6+ members of our communities who are reporting crashes on their PCs as well - so it definitely is not just an individual issue.
When a game/island closes there is a needs for a large amount of Virtual Memory and graphics memory this is in the PC itself and is called a page file and can be seen in Windows Task Manager → Memory. Here my page file, Virtual Memory has used 9.5 of 38.9 GB
This means that my pc will run UEFN and Fortnite together any will then be 28.9/10.0 GB .
This does mean that my PC cannot run any other application like Word/Excel/Power point
These all used virtual memory. When Winterfest was running my pc ran slow and crashed so put the Virtual Memory up to 32GB from 16GB. The automatic setting in Windows 11 in useless and when UEFN builds a large project you need 64GB.
The reason I posted this forum was so Epic would be aware of the overall issue of players who play the experience having crashes when they are loading out of the game.
Players should not have to go through all of these steps to fix their game from crashing whenever they play certain creative islands.
The report is more to make awareness for the overall issue many players are experiencing so Epic could explore the issue further.
