Hello SkEyE,
like many people I have endless crashes too, every 10/15 mn, no matter what I’am doing in the game, not even in combat!
I’ve played 3 first hours (solo) without any crash, and then after 20 hours became a nightmare!
I think it’s nothing to do with our systems (mine is a I5 3770K/16GB DDR3/GTX 970 and works fine), this game needs to be FIXED!!!
I hope Avalanche is working on it, but this game is out for almost 1 year now.
Cordially.

Just gave the Game another shoot.
Loaded in, ran out of the spawn bunker thingy in the second town, hit the road, pulled out my pistol and you prob already guessed it: crashed.
I honestly don’t know what to do: I really love the game but feel like it’s a massive rip off in the state its in and that i should refund it but damn: I don’t know.

I love it too. If I were you I’d refund it and come back when it’s fixed. There’s no point spoiling your experience.

Ran over to DLC island at lvl 12 and finished the main missions now, still no crashes on the new save and thats somewhere around 12+ hours of gameplay now.
Loaded my regular save and went rival hunting, crashed after first combat ended…

How old is your old save, Znurrad? Is it from launch?
The problematic one was made during the september patch. It is also one of the saves that couldnt start the DLC mission on it’s own when it launched.

I started end of October. My game was crash-free for quite some time, iirc.
Um, sorry, that would be me. Not in November either. Two in October, two in September. That’s my lot.
So as in my case your game starts crashing more frequently with a more complex save file. But you started playing back in April/May?

If this ends up boiling down to corrupted save files I hope they will spend a minute to write a little code that can remove the corruption so the game doesn’t have to be started from scratch. I’m sure I would enjoy replaying it, I can’t ever seem to get enough even when I’m constantly being abused by absolutely absurd levels of crashing. I would however like retain the save where I have put 200 crash-filled hours in.

I started playing in March! I bought the game the day it came out and “saved it up” for ten days, and I’ve been playing ever since.

Instead talking about “how long” let’s compare “how big” are our save files
My is 3386KB
GZ crashes at the end of combat, or when I get killed in combat (region level must be high enough, it doesn’t crash when region level is below 5 or when I play as client in coop).
4 characters - 3x level 31 + 1x level 1. All have their inventory filled 80-100%.

And how frequently your game is crashing in comparison.
3348 kb. Roughly one crash per session (3-6 h), maybe a little less.
I managed to clean out my 30-40 Rivals on my regular save yesterday. Pulled quite the haul of Xweapons that I didnt need…
I crashed a few times at first but got em all down eventually with maybe and hour or 2 between the last crashes, thats an improvment.
My regular save is 3424kB
The fresh noncrashing one is 2654kB

How are you getting your saves that large? Do you have all four characters set up with extra storage space and a lot of full mod weapons in store? And how many rivals do you have roaming the map?
I have only 1 character and I killed all rivals before attempting to do the last DLC mission.

I have all 4 chars lvled for extra storage and are filled with stuff yes, 2 lvl 31s on that save.
No rivals up anymore, took them all down yesterday and the filesize gained a hefty 2kB in weight
Still crashing roaming around DLC island but its not constant so the hunt for 5star LMGs can somewhat continue.

@Znurrad, when you went gardening, did you clear out a lot of ammo and gear etc or top it all back up? I’m wondering if that’s what caused the decrease in file size.
My filesize gained 2kB since yesterday or do you mean in comparison with yours? I cleaned out some stuff from the stash and moved a few things around my chars but yeah, it’s at 100/100.
Brain fart 
I took the increase the wrong way. It’s still a mystery. Sorry.
