Thanks for the report! I’ve also experienced this. Most of the time it feels like it’s related to Tanks specifically… Me and a friend theorized that EMP rounds might have had something to do with it, perhaps interrupting the Tank’s charging ability but we can’t be sure.
It also seems to happen right at the start of a session… If I go for a longer session then attack a Tank, it doesn’t crash. Not sure what to make of it
The only thing I can concur on is that both crashes occurred when engaging tanks. I’m unsure as to what EMP rounds you are referring to? As i’m not certain as to whether EMP rounds were involved in both of the crashes. If you mean the throwing kind, I didn’t use those. I was using them last night however against a tank and I experienced no crashes or errors of any kind.
EMP rounds for the Grenade Launcher. Me and my friend experienced two crashes, both from fighting Tanks with them. But it could just be Tank-related in general, not just specifically with a weapon.
As of the September patch this is still an issue. I’m 100% sure this has to do with Tanks now, I fought one just now after installing the update and the game just froze, dumping me back to desktop with no crash report.
Maybe it’s just “Tanks”. I got “cornered” in a barn last night by two Tanks while looting. I managed to stay hidden. They only entered non full search mode briefly and got completely peaceful again. They simply wandered back and forth at the farm for several minutes (one of them repeatedly against a truck) with me observing them.
No sign of anything … just crashed to desktop out of the blue. Never had this happen before either.
I tested this theory. Ran a looooing fighting session (which I recorded, if anyone wants to I can upload it) and I fought like, 20 Hunters and Runners across the northern plains with no issues. Went out of my way to attract as big groups as possible, but the game ran fine.
Yeah, there’s definitely some similarities there. Like… Whatever makes the tank charge, can make the game crash. It doesn’t happen every time, so I wonder what it could be. I’m tempted to give the devs a poke about this issue next week.
i have noticed that tanks charge is bugged. sometimes when they charge the game chrashes, You can force a tank to charge more by shooting of it weapons. But since november 2020 patch the tanks doesnt charge at all. but you can still get the game to crash by shooting of its weapons.
I used to have this problem a lot. But ever since they altered the Tank’s behaviour so it charges less, it’s been less frequent. Seems like there is a correlation.
I think it’s best to just post regular bug reports, honestly. If they’re priority issues that aren’t already on the acknowledged list to fix then go ahead.
