"Drive to Jeets STronghold" game breaking bug
Right after the explosion of the first base camp you had, you have to drive to jeets stronghold. Well half on that way the sound disappears. Actually you hear background environment sound but no car sound, no voice sound. And then the textures stops loading on half of the map. No matter how long I sit and wait, it just looks like a bitmap, very less detailed texture as if you would have the grahpics on VERY low.

Then every object I can pass through, there is no collision anymore. I've restarted the game but it happens again at the same place.

//Edit: Here is an image showing at least the graphical disaster.

Something is majorly screwed with that image link.

*Edit* NM it was the steam redirect causing it to mess up.
Pasted it directly into browser and it works.

Works fine on my end. However:

//edit: Interesting. When I lower my graphic to the MINIMUM, I can get past HOWEVER short before reaching the waypoint, it still breaks. Same result, audio is missing, graphics won't load and checkpoint will not trigger. After the mess with Batman this will be my last WB game I've purchased. I'm so sick of the terrible state they publish their games.

//edit2: Oh and when this happens, pressing ESC will not open the game menu btw. It seems like half of the game is completely broken. I can leave and enter the vehicle but open the menu? No chance.

Can you upload you savefile somewhere, which should be located here:
\Documents\WB Games\Mad Max\Backup Saves
Can atleast check the save itself is not corrupted, though it is sounding like a system problem if changing the settings took longer for it to bug out.

works great here, game is rock solid

did "Drive to Jeets Stronghold" w/o any problems

verify game cache

post details about your hardware (cpu, gpu, memory, storage) and os (windows version n if 32/64 bits)

make sure windows, drivers, c/c++ runtime, .net runtime, directx runtime, etc are all updated

I had ZERO issues until this point: http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/NAaq3tnZ/file.html
If you can reach that waypoint without any issues, please save and share the savegame with me. Perhaps its only this moment I cannot pass through -.-

Windows 10 64bit
64GB Ram
Intel 7 4960X 3,60Ghz - 6 cores
Nvidia Geforce Titan (latest Mad Max optimized driver installed)

Everything is up to date because I'm a software developer and have to keep the runtimes up 2 date.

Now I reached the checkpoint and it triggered but only because I used nitro whenever it was ready.

perhaps it runs great here cause i have ati 280 video card (and not an nvidia one)

also if you look at forum after forum on steam for game after game going back for years now since the earliest nvidia cards why is it most of them time, if not always, it is nvidia cards having most, if not all, the problems... it's always them needing to update drivers for a game more than ati

and its not that im attacking nvidia cause ive had number of their cards in computers that ive owned, its that whenever i see these posts, most of the time, if not all of the time, its nvidia cards / drivers having problems...

i do admit ati cards may not be as fast as equivalent nvidia cards, and ati cards may not have all the bells nad whistles as equivalent nvidia cards, but they are less expensive and normally run more solidly, albiet slightly slower

Sorry it took a while to check as I was having some strange behaviour.
I renamed your save before I put it into my folder, and it showed up correctly in game, with your playtime.
When I loaded it though, it was pulling in my stats from my main save, which happens to be at the exact spot as yours.
I presume there is some internal filename which was causing the clash.
So moved my save01 out of the way into another folder, and brought yours in with the original name, and I can tell it is loading your stats, as you have a few more griffa tokens than me.

I got to jeet's stronghold fine, which you have too now it seems, so not much point me putting it back up.

Certainly seems more than enough specs wise.
I am running
Win 10 Pro 64bit
16GB RAM
i5 4670k
Nvidia GTX 980

Think I have all the graphics maxed and vsynced at 1080p 60Hz.

Did the sound stay with you this time, when you went to Jeet's?
0x90 Sep 5, 2015 @ 10:31pm 
Yes, no sound or graphic issues the last time where I used nitro whenever it was ready. Then I was able to reach the checkpoint and it triggered.

After this mission I never had such a problem again.

Well it happens again, lol. This is crap. If half of the game breaks and you cannot proceed with the story, I wasted my money on this game.

When I take a look at Batman I would doubt WB will fix it at all.

Sorry to hear you still having compatability issues.
Just to check on the graphics card front, what drivers are you using?
You say most recent, but is that also including the beta branch?
I am running 355.82 which is the most recent non beta driver, and so far it has been rock solid.
Have you had any issues in other games, and have you checked your GPU temp when you have encountered artifacting?
With the sound going as well maybe it is a MOBO or CPU issue, I dont know if it specifically has a problem with 12 virtual cores.
Anyway hope you manage to track down what it doesn't like specifically about your rig confiuration.
0x90 Sep 6, 2015 @ 8:02am 
355.82 but I've now verified the game cache. Some files are invalid and now its downloading 1.9GB (wtf). Might be my solution.
[Nmds]amberchild Sep 6, 2015 @ 8:10am 
ive been having the sound issues they come from time to time
0x90 Sep 6, 2015 @ 8:40am 
If it would have been only the sound I wouldn't care. But if game elements breaks and prevent you from completing missions and such...
