Game Crash.

[Southy]

Is anyone else having the game crash after a few minutes of starting up. Ive had this problem for a while now. Ive had to put the row boat in the water so i dont lose my big boat. I cant even wash the big boat as the game crashes every few minutes. I lose a ton of cargo last night costing me heaps. Any idea when this will be sorted? The game is un-playable as it is at the moment. So very frustrating. Please advise.

D30, M05, Y2024, to D31, M05, Y2024, if i remember right.

That tracks so all of the tier 2 boats are vulnerable to the crash, interesting.
Part of the above story was that I had to race back to port to make sure I could swap to a tier 1 boat before the midnight crash. So having a save before the crash is key.

Found the post with the date:

"I just had the timecrash happen while at sea. I had put out all my lines, so I rested until just before midnight. Did another short 1 hour rest to get me over the June 1st date and the game ctd'd. Tried a second time without leaving lines in the water, same thing happened. So now I will head back to Rost harbor and try changing boats ect. to see if I can get past the crash date.

Update:
The actual crash time was on the night of May 30 at midnight. So I reloaded in order to get to Rost before that deadline. I changed boat to Flippy and then advanced time to May31, I was not able to change to the Conquest without a CTD. Reloaded last Flippy save and advanced time to July1 and was able to switch to Conquest without a crash."

yeah that should say May1

Yes, I think I had to load a save before the crash, and take out a Tier1 boat, then skip time forward some days.

I remember I had the Fatal error msg. like this, just with the Date i mentioned.

Edit: I think I skipped time to June2.

Do You mean June1?

One thing I discovered when deleting the config folder(back it up) It also stops access to autosave files. (don't know if that data is stored there or elsewhere) but if you need the autosaves be careful not to delete that folder unless you have to. You can always try to restore it later if you want to try - just backup whatever you want to backtrack to.

Edit: On where your autosaves are: Probably smart to back up your save folder ASAP.
X:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Sas\Saved\SaveGames

In the game on the save loading screen you should see before the regular saves, a series of autosaves - check for one that precedes your crash date and use it to get to a teir 1 boat ASAP. Once you have it, SAVE then timeskip for a day or two and you should be good to go. Save again :)

You can also check if you have any Autosave00.sav type files in the savegame directory, if you can find the oldest one, try renaming it to one of your existing SaveGame00 file slots. (although I would try the other method first) .

When I deleted my config folder, it was two values in the Settings I had to change back.
I don't remember, but maybe under Audio/ Graphics, nothing scary stuff.

[baobobafet]

I think the config folder holds some graphics values and maybe audio don't know.
What I do know is that my autosaves were no longer accessible in game when I deleted it.

Seems that the config holds the pointers to the autosaves in the game since when I returned the config back to original the autosaves were again accessible.

Not to say that it is deleting the autosaves - just the pointer that the game uses to find them. The autosaves can still be accessed even if you delete the config folder, you just have to manually find them in the save folder.

I originally backed up my config folder, then deleted the one used by the game.
I realised afterwards my autosaves weren't showing up in game.
I decided to copy my original config back and was able to access those autosaves again in game.

A good tip to hedge against the Timecrash bug is to always keep a current save in the harbour. I always save before loading cargo or making any trip. Then I make a separate save when I take that boat out to sea for fishing ect. Once back in the harbour I save my progress to the existing 'harbour save'. Rinse & repeat.

When you say it only happens with the Skarven, have you tried to use another boat for a while (advance time in the boat past the date causing the crash)
I had something similar experience in the Conquest but my crash date was much earlier than 2025.
Once I had switched to another boat I was able to weather through the date. After a few days I was able to switch back to the Conquest.
If that doesn't help, maybe try a reinstall of DirectX12? Lotsa luck.

Look at His Fatal error:

Fatal error: [File:C:\bb\SASWorker\Package\build\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\Misc\DateTime.cpp] [Line: 42] Invalid Date values. Y:2025, M:0, D:1, H:19, M:42, S:0, Ms:0

Hi, I have been using Dr Phil for many hundreds of hours now and is my main boat till I can get the Skarven caper sorted. My other tier 1 boats work all ok as well. The only problem child is Skarven. Ill check out the link provided in the last post. My date is back at 28th December 2024 now. Thanks in advance, Please advise.

[baobobafet]

Have you tried to load any of the other tier2 boats? If they crash as well you might simply need to advance a few days and try loading the Skarven again. Before the timecrash date, I switched to the Flippy and found I was not able to switch back to the Conquest for a few days without crashing the game. Afterwards, I was able to load it without problem.
Edit: I don't understand how you are in a Dr Phil - shouldn't you be in a tier 1 boat?
I thought all the tier 2 boats were crashing from the timecrash?
I would switch to a tier 1 boat, especially if you are approaching timecrash dates.

[frosen]

I was fishing with Conquest when I had this crash, and tested with Skarven, same problem.
Btw, I'm not 100% shure if I tested with Dr.Phil.

Edit: Anyone tested Dr.Phil with the Timecrash? Please, let us know.

Well buddhatied is back in 2024 Dec 28 on the cusp of the date for a crash. I guess we will hear it from him :)
Edit: It's probably May he has to worry about - but I don't trust any date rollovers anymore and the numeric date format is confusing ..bah

[baobobafet]

I am puzzled by one thing, I went through the timecrash about 6 months before the date that buddhatied went through his timecrash, (mine was on May30 2024) so how did he get past that timecrash that happened 6 months earlier? I'm guessing we all now have to look forwards to another timecrash for May 2025? (not that I expect to timeskip to that date anytime soon) It does make me wonder what dates other players are experiencing in the game and that those people might need to check if they are vulnerable.

Edit: On how he got past the earlier timecrash, guessing that he was likely in a tier 1 boat at the time it occurred. (or maybe it was the DrPhil if it turns out to be safe?)
