Crash on Emission
I think past the 4th or 5th emission they are crashing my game now.

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000020

Even going back in saves doesn't seem to fix it, the moment an emission starts later on it will crash after starting the damage portion. I've tried in a few different zones by forcing one to start and it crashes the same.

"If you have Down Below bug or emissions crash 100% it is a known bug. This bug will be fixed in the next patch, it wasn't ready for the 1st one. It is caused by the bolt artifact (can be found in Tornado archanomaly). The only workaround atm is not to inspect the Bolt artifact after it has been found. If this has already happened, any emission will result in this crash."

We're gonna have to wait for another patch.

Same thing
trucach Nov 26, 2024 @ 12:29pm 
same thing. mod doesn't help
okay, weird thing after same issue or at least a crash log

My shaders weren't compiling on itself (and previous saves, reinstalling won't help either), but with this mod they started doing it again.
On first time it didn't help but trough couple of tries when emission started again I reloaded save , then kept walking trough the mission doctor quest with monolith bunker in red forest game started spawning weapons in my inventory, I didn't drop it, completed the quest and it's still okay.

The thing is, game started to spawn more stalkers in exo than ever after this one, I had more issues on Rostok with fps but it's managable.

I also deleted mod for UE console
"Emission Crash Helper"

Did u find any way to fix this without turning the emissions off at all? And also, some info on nexus suggesting artifact Weird bolt could be the source of a problem, either u sell it or have it at all. Did you obtain it? Cause it has to be charged during the emission, even if it is in some vendor’s inventory.

It seems I started having an emmisions crash problem after I got this artifact. Since I didn't immediately connect these two events, and there was no emission for quite a long time - I no longer have saves before getting the bolt :(
Right now I tried several options - keep the bolt in a stash, in the inventory, sell it to a merchant or throw it on the ground - the result is the same, a crash during emission.

That’s really sad( It seems that (not 100% sure) it all goes to this artifact. After u picked it at first time - there’s no way back. U only need to find a save before picking it. Or wait for patches, this is not common problem like with Zalissya or professor, there’s no guarantee it will be patched soon.

1) Make some copies of stalker 2 folder in local appdata in order to have a backup next time. Use manual save.

2) I could send u some saves, am on my way to Duga assault right now, good gear like saiga and vss, no weird bolt picked up)
Sell the bolt to the merchant and sleep for 1-2 days so the merchant refreshes his inventory.It worked for me no more crashes during emissions.

thanks, but I'd rather wait for the patch, and if they don't fix it, I'll play again from start in a few months when the technical condition of the game improves

But they fixed 650 bugs. Great product support, and it's not a beta.
