Crashing While In Game (Not sure if it is Pre-caching issue)

DumbseizureDumbseizure Join Date: 2012-10-15 Member: 162363Members
Hello all, let me just say that from what I have been able to play this game is pretty freaking brilliant, and good word to everyone who helped make it.

Now the problem with my version is that I can join matches just fine (this isn't the issue) but about 5-10 minutes into the match, the bug report service shows up and the game itself becomes non responsive. I just thought that I would post this here cause I am unsure of whether this is the pre-caching issue or not.

I have already tried the Fix that was stickied about deleting files and verifying, but alas it has not helped.

One thing I did notice though is that it does not seem to happen in the menu, only while I am actually in a match itself.

My computer specs are:
I5 3570k
ATI 4870x2 Revolution 700
8GB DDR3 ram at 1666 Mhz
Asrock Z77 motherboard
And I can't really think of what else to include that could possibly cause this issue if it isn't an already common issue.

Thank you for any help.

    open up the console while the game is loading and monitor, if you see errors start showing up while loading and precaching, then thats the problem.

    You could try turning texture streaming off, seeing as how your gpu is not that modern

    I have a feeling it is. I have a feeling all this problem is related to precaching... or more percisely something changed in how textures and asset are stored in memory.. It isnt storing them right, so when it tries to call them or something it crashes.

    If you've tried the steps listed here and it still doesn't work,

    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=122598" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index....howtopic=122598</a>

    Then we'll just have to wait it out for the next patch by the developers which will hopefully address the issues (:

    Ah thank you for that little tip.
    I did just what you said, while also having a look back through the log text file and I noticed one line come up a few times.

    Error: Couldn't open file ''

    Could this be the culprit of whats causing this?
    I just find it weird that it doesn't even say what file it could not open.

    Thank you for the advice, but unfortunately I already have texture streaming turned off.
    I have also tried turning everything as low as possible incase its a VRam issue (which I wouldn't think it is because the 4870x2, while a bit older, still holds 2GB of ram).
    Unfortunately that didn't help either.

    im getting much of the same errors mate, i get into a game for a few minutes and then it crashes out. A lot of the time its hard crashes too and even the send bug report screen locks up. I guess we are just going to have to wait till they get this fix out, twitter says they are working diligently on the issue, so hopefully we see something today

    Ah, thanks for letting me know.
    Guess I will wait and see how this new build or fix does.

    Yeah it's the same issue being reported in many threads, the fixes being posted don't seem to have had any success (Except maybe reinstalling for a select few who actually got a faulty download).

    Keep an eye on Twitter, but until they post something the game will be unplayable for us and hundreds of others I would guess.

    This is actually the only bug/error effecting me currently.. and am in constant communication with the devs about the matter.
    Will be trying to reproduce this bug later today myself.. but in the meantime..

    If you crash and are able to get a minidump or log that gives extra info, that would be great.
    Thanks!
