Grimmaw, Packhound Alpha - So powerful he crashes my game :(

[RodHull]

Jokes aside posting this here cause it seems related but not the same as the crash thread, can anyone else whos getting freeze/crash issues hunt this guy down see if he too causes your game freeze up. For me im able to reproduce this 100% of the time i fight him as soon as he does his breath attack it freezes my game, Alkamos did a similar thing and Im assuming other cold based mobs or attacks will do the same as well.

Found him. He didnt crash my game. I was on 86.

[RodHull]

Curious, i think there are multiple bugs/issues that cause the same types of crashes might be a while before they all get addressed.

As an update in the other thread the area right of homestead (canonball quest) also crashes my game.

[VeraelHasta]

I didn't crash myself but I can agree my fps dipped a lot in the fight with him. I even remembered it because of that/

[RodHull]

I just went 3 more times its definitely an issue in my game not sure why, its when he does his breath attack, the nova thing he does is fine everything is fine until he does that then it just locks up my game. Obviously this is not a major issue can avoid him but its not just him its just he is easiest to reproduce it on. Alkamos also did it, and the aether area right of Homestead.

That said it maybe an interaction of these breath style attacks with one of my buffs or something??? Who knows

My game crashed 2 times when I faced Alkamos

Doesn't happen to me. Using 2 GTX-1080s. Crashes are VERY rare for me. Significant slow downs take a huge mob. I only have 16GB RAM though, so there are brief freezes when I whip the camera around. I'm assuming it's a RAM thing.

I would say - can you confirm that it's reproducible on another character of yours? It could possibly be some kind of corruption with this particular save file; or possibly a rare bug with a skill or item this character is using that triggers in conjunction with Grimmaw (or the particular kind of ice breath attack he utilizes).

It's really hard to say what it might be but if you can pin it down to what the actual cause is then we'd be getting somewhere. Maybe try disabling any and all aura type skills/toggles and then giving him a go. Pay attention to any active skills you might be using just before the crash etc.

This sounds like a make sure game files are verified.

This was some class A necroing :)

The issue was solved ages ago, it turned out to be related to that patch and some buggy sound files if memory serves, it was fixed within the week.

lmao that's what I get for not checking the OP date I shoulda realized something was up that I didn't see it in my notifications.

It's funny because I thought the description sounded familiar to the issue people were having around FG release.

[RodHull]

Yeah I cant quite recall the cause, but I believe it was related to a buggy sound file or somesuch with ice effects, it seemed to effect a small number of people. But the fix was fairly prompt if memory serves.
