Cirian Boss crashes my Game

[Raisti]

Just got the Bomber Boss in City Ruins and the Drone Swarm Phase crashes my Game.
Already lowered all settings. Guess there is just to much happening for my PC to handle it.

Kinda sad, that i now can´t play anymore, unless someone knows a viable solution, that doesnt involve spending lots of money on new hardware :D

Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core

You mean the Crius? Odd.

I don't think my game was crashing when I played it on an i7 920 and 980 Ti.

It just slowed down immensely to the pint of being nearly completely unplayable. I didn't get as far as the Crius but I would have thought the game's introductory mission with the drone swarms would be similar.

well tried it 2 times, both times it crashed and yeah that this didn´t happen already in the tutorial is odd, but my base is also a bit bigger than the tutorial one :D

Same issue here.

So there a couple of things I had to do to reduce crashes, including on Crius, Recovery Day and during infinity Siege:
- im running 16G ram, SSD and GTX 1070Ti
- Clean up my ram usage. The game can take almost 8Gig of ram (on low settings) and you have to remove excessive services and Memory leaking apps
- Stop Edge, stop nvidia services if you arent using them
- review your processes list and google the hi mem usage processes. Turn off the garbage.
- If windows explorer is runnig over 300Meg restart it etc.
- Dont run the game with other obvious apps running.
- Consider restarting the game after editing your base. Especially if you are running a big base. ( > 3500 components ) Some of the graphics are cached I believed. This did appear to help.

Those actually REALLY helped the most
But also:
- reduce settings to lowest (I actually dont mind this at all, its not that bad looking... in fact I find it quite nice... go figure!)

Hope this helps, love the game.

When I did all of this crashes are ALOT less frequent.

so the issue is do you kill it? otherwise yes the swam has crashed me when i forgot to turn on my artillery

if you kill it right away theres no swarm

for me this only happened after the game had been running for ages - if i did the mission with that boss as the first thing after rebooting my comp it was fine - there is some memory leak thats not cleared by just restarting the game that they have yet to fix
