Support and Bug Reports
1

The KVM 59 when using 7.62mm shock ammo (I havent had this issue with default ammo) has a very strong love to just crash your game, I was fighting a reaper, 3 ROUND BURSTING THE KVM WITH SHOCK and my game just crashes outright when firing it, this has happened repeadetly

Steps to reproduce: Litteraly just hold the trigger with the Experimental KVM on any large enemy or group of enemies, with a 5 CR extended mag and shock rounds, does not matter if someone else is in your game or not

Specifications:
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070
Intel(R) Core™ I9-9900K CPU (3.6 Ghz, Overclocked and can hit 5)
24 GB DDR4 Ram

I have friends who have the same issue, but I (with weaker PC than my friends) have never had this crash happen to me. I would guess it might not be the specs per say, maybe this is an issue with the drivers? But who knows, might just be me who have been lucky.

It isnt just the reaper too, happened when I was fighting a harv once, happened while fighting 2 tanks, fighting apoc tanks, or even holding the trigger for large periods of time on an apoc tank

It will just crash your game…

KVM 59 shock isnt like the AG4 with shock, what it does to the KVM is just Amplify its electric abilities by either 2 or 3 times, but it also turns the lightning yellow… and seems to litteraly quadrouple the particle effects, which I believe is likely the source of the game crashing…

I’ve adjusted the title a bit. Please chill with the caps next time.

Well it just happened, I was lighting up a tank with 2 buddies, 2 kvm 59s with shock goin and my game just keked its self

Also I have a friend who has alot of resources, shock ammo usage is not an issue

It’s the KVM stack that’s the issue.

Earlier on Himfjall I did a twin setup both with Shock ammo and it was struggling to track all the lightning. It felt like it just was back logging all the damage until the lightning couldn’t keep up then crash.

Solo using one though is fine.

Hi,
I wanted to report the same issue for me on PS5.
(PS4 Disc, installed on internal SSD)

My coop-partner and me had 4 tries on a single reaper. I was using exp. KVM59 with 300 rounds shock ammo. The game crashed after about 100 rounds in full auto fire.
The game remembered the reapers health, our ammo count and our position (church of Boo) every time the game crashed.

Did you and your friend go straight for the Reaper when you loaded in or was it some gameplay before hand - then you took on the Reaper?

We started at ringfort, killed a few light tanks and harvesters around and then went (fast travel) to the church of Boo to hunt the reaper.

After the first crash we spawned directly there and went on killing it… 3 times in total.
