Age of Crash 4

[Zedonova Nova]

please someone....save me from these crashes...

[Redeemer]

I have played the game for 28,4 hours without any crash. This is not to deny the possibility of crashes in the future or to invalidate other players' experiences, but to share my feedback. There might be some issues with your software or hardware that require further investigation by you or the developers.

I've had 6 - I think 4 on first 30 hours, other 2 since then , so in the whole improving stability with patches I think

I crash constantly, never had a game crash like this one. On this PC iv'e never gotten the blue screen of death, and I get it all the time with AOW4. It depends which map how often it happens.

In over a 129 hours I've only experienced two crashes, in both cases I was able to load the auto save and everything was OK.

[Beilo]

I rarely experienced crashes, but constantly desync in MP, to the point of total unplayability

[Honyakusha]

Crashed between 20-30 times within 68 hours, last straw was losing my turn 90 saved game after a CTD.
Got RTX3070, Gen13 i5 13600k etc. and I'm only having issues with AoW4, tried every humanly possible recommendation on internet, be it reinstall, disabling ♥♥♥♥♥, verifying, updating graph card, even fcking formatting my windows. None worked.
I'm really envious people who didn't get a single crash or any kind of problems because this title was one of the worst experiences I ever had and I got fair share of mine. In fact, this one is my last ever Paradox published game and I'm a sucker for strategy and RPG's, just because I'm seething with rage when I saw the day one expansion pass staring at me at my library, while the game itself is unplayable.

Not had one crash. Of course the OP supplies no details of his pc specs or what he's doing when the crashes happened. Usually a sign that his pc is a potato.

110 hours, 4 crashes. That's a pretty good rate for a new game.

I have 67 hours, no crashes but hundreds and hundreds of desync

First day release I had crashes almost every hour. Kind of surprised on 3rd day after release I think I only had 3 crashes and 2 of those are related to mods using.

[Adsteel]

I still have constant crashes and the game is almost unplayable, unfortunately. Still waiting for patches to solve this mess. I play several other games with no issues at all.

I've started having constant crashes as well. Very frustrating.

[bluesaphire8]

I crash every 20 minutes give or take on 3 different computers from various purchase years. I thought Midnight suns was bad, but this is getting really old... How many crash reports do i have to send in before we get a stability patch?

Bring up Hero recruit screen.. crash
New day Event... crash
attack resource node event... crash
All the crashes seem to happen when an animated screen is supposed to pop up.

It's a great game, so please fix it so I can actually play it without losing a bunch of effort every time.

I crash constantly during combat, usually whenever there's an animation, at the start of an attack. I haven't experienced any crashes outside of combat so far. 8 times out of 10 though, if I decide to do a manual battle the game will freeze my computer and force me to hard restart. I'm starting to suspect that I won't ever get to play this game and that I've wasted a lot of money on it. I'm afraid to even boot the game up now because I don't want to damage any of my hardware because of the constant crashing.

I have a 2 day old i7 12700KF, 32GB DDR5, RTX 4070, 2 x 2TB SSD, all latest drivers, Win 11-64 Pro, 10MB/sec internet, etc.
We just "lost" our second 73-turn game hosted by my friend (similar system). We try and join and just "bounce back" to the multiplayer menu. He reverted it - made no difference. In this game alone we have had hundreds of reload/desync events.
We did get to play a full 115 turn game, but have "lost" other games.
It's a good (not great) game, but the networking is poor and servers get into trouble quite often and require multiple attempts to resolve lock-ups/lock-outs.
Games like Civ-6 and Humankind are rock solid in multiplayer for us long term.
I hate Humankind's battles BTW. PvP Age of Wonders 4 has it's problems, which we avoid by moving stacks one square at a time when near opponents, avoiding "sniping".
We will stick with it, but want the devs to know it's not perfect. The enjoyment is in playing not in completion ATM.
