Crashing after showdown update on xbox

the game just constantly crashes almost every time after joining the world. also the experimental hammer doesnt do its shock attack after a full charge and some experimental ammo doesnt do what it says… theres nothing wrong with my xbox but im most likely not the only one experiencing this… i think the game needs a hotfix soon…

i forgot to add: the base assaults are also not spawning but the machines are

The update is hot garbage so far for pretty much everyone, they are probably going to do that hotfix they talked about before too long. It doesn’t even work for players

update: i fixed the problem with the whole crashing and missing bases thing…

apparently, if this nonsense happens, just uninstall > reinstall the game (even though its 70GB :/) and the problem with fix itself…

Actually, It works perfectly on Ps4 pro… Might just be for me? (Not that I super like all of the base defense designs, although I am not super opposed to them.)

Me on Xbox one x im getting massive fps shutters I don’t know if it’s the platform or some settings I have …
Are you getting stable frame rate on PS4 pro?

You don’t even get a stable framerate on a PS5 (or Series X) depending on what you do.

Start a big battle near a FNIX base, use the unstoppable shells augment and fire a few rockets you can see the frame rates plummet to single digits.

I’ve not had it crash on Series X or PS5 yet, but I’ve definitely seen it struggle.

I’ve not unlocked unstoppable shells on gold yet, so I haven’t used it yet and cannot argue with you regarding the FPS problems with it.

I even don’t know if I would use it, as I’m lucky with my current setup.

And I’d bet that my exp pvg does the same job, but less bullet consuming. I’ve shot through trees and rocks with it, seeing my targets being hit. Accidently, of course.

So what about just not using it unstoppable shells?

I’d counter, “So what about testing the features you’re adding to the game so that it doesn’t negatively impact players?”

However, you’d need add more than just the unstoppable shells to that list…

Personally, I don’t use it anymore, it makes the game largely unplayable as it’s not just a graphical issue, but it impacts the performance for all players in your session regardless of whether or not you’re the host player, suggesting it’s a game engine issue rather than fps / localised performance problem.

I try it out after each updated to see if it’s fixed then go back to not using it.

But that doesn’t mean that other people aren’t using it, pointing it out as a problem might convince other people to not use it. They might not be aware that just the fact that someone else in their session might be using it causing problems for them.

I’m not expecting it to fixed, tbh. I’m not expecting most of the issues caused by this and the previous update to be fixed. At best the devs might rebalance the ‘economy’ to reduce the grind but I’ll be amazed if they address the performance issues introduced of late.

Pretty stable, sometimes if I use the experimental rocket launcher it drops to like 10 fps, but that isn’t even all the time. Maybe they optimized it for older consoles, and just assumed the newer consoles would power through?
