Game constantly crashing when startup [solved]
After the update I played well. But just now when I launch the game I can get to the descendant screen, when I press start the preparing shader loads to 30% then it crashes. Restarted and everything.

[Solution:
1. At the Start screen, set all to ultra and turn Additional option to off, then it will load fine. Then go set everything back in setting.
2. Do like this guy here

open Engine.ini


add this at the very bottom of the Engine.ini

[SystemSettings]
r.ShaderPipelines=1
r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled=0
r.D3D.ForceDXC=1

Method (1) is completely normal and the game looks the same. Method (2) would make the game look worse. Choose one that solves your error.

Same problem. When loading counter reach 25%, the game freeze and close after some seconds.

Nexon doesn't compensate they scam. Maybe look into the dev's your supporting next time.

Shaders are totally wonky after patch. After every disconnect during gameplay, I have to clear my GC's shader cache. It's a pain. Disconnects are bad too.



how is this done?

the "fix" that got me into the game without crashing was at the start menu you can change your graphics, i lowered everything and had my fsr to ultra performance. got me through the loading shaders though still a bit slow it got me through the crashing. dont know if it'll work for ya'll but it did for me.

bob36pride Jul 31, 2024 @ 5:58pm 
I lowered the setting to M and still cash at about 50% now
