Frequent crashes since v 8.0

Farthest Frontier Bug Reporting
1

Unfortunately, since version 8.0, I regularly experience crashes after about 10 or 15 minutes of play.

I am currently playing a settlement that I started before version 8.0.

Up to version 8.0 everything ran without problems. I could play for hours and have not experienced a single crash.

Since version 8.0, I can play for a maximum of 15 minutes before the game crashes regularly.

I have already started saving every 5 minutes. But even after loading the new saves, there are always crashes.

Should I start a new settlement? Or is the current version simply buggy?

Just checking, are you using any mods?

3

… no mods, just the original game via Steam.

And I have beta access to the game in my Steam account.

4

Switch off beta to main branch. Beta isn’t active currently.

5

OK, I will try that.

Thanks for your help :slightly_smiling_face:

You’re welcome. I’m just ruling out easy possible explanations. If it persists then someone actually paid to be here should help when they have time. They’re normally pretty quick to address hard crashes.

7

Unfortunately, the crashes continue to occur even with the beta turned off.

Is there a crash log or something in the file system somewhere that I could post here?

I’m having the same issue today, was ok yesterday and before, now it crashed after about 15 mins. I don’t have the beta.

Also it wasn’t loading from the continue button game save, it keeps shutting down and flicking me back to the Steam library page.

Hi Francesco,

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Can you send me your DxDiag.txt file? You can generate that by running the dxdiag app:

I had my first crash yesterday, luckily, I had only played for 5 minutes. My settlers were seeking shelter, and in this time of the year I usually use 3X speed, before I was able to return to normal speed, got a crash.

I sent the content of my DxDiag file - due to the size limit - in two messages.

However, I started a new game in the meantime and this time it runs (almost) without crashes.

I had only one crash in the last 5 hours and possibly there was another program involved in the background.

However, I also often use - like Murkalael - 3x speed. Maybe that is one of the reasons for the problems?

Hi Francesco,

I received your dxdiag.txt file but I didn’t see anything noteworthy. It seems like your machine is up to date and within specifications. You, like the majority of the crash reports we are receiving, are occurring in graphics code. Part of our frustration is that since we are using a closed-source game engine (Unity) we don’t have the ability to fully debug and/or fix such issues. However, in our next/upcoming patch (v0.8.1) we are upgrading to the latest version of Unity where several graphics crashes have been addressed. Hopefully your issues will be addressed in that build.

Hi Westfaliah,

Thanks for the effort to look through the data.

This is great support.

As I wrote above, the new game is running without problems so far.

Thanks again and good luck for your great work.
