still crashing?

[snickii]

I am thinking to buy it, do u guys have still crashes???

[Penumbra Wolf]

I'm running a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti with High graphic settings. Every once in a while I got a Low Level Fatal Error crash. Searched around and saw people suggesting disabling all Overlays like Steam, Discord, GeForce, etc. After doing that I got a full 3 hour play time without any crashes or lag spikes.

There are tons of "Fixes" you can google. Some being Running as Administrator, Verifying the files, lowering graphics, using in game commands like r.VoluMetricCloud 0 and r.VoluMetricFog 0, etc...

It sucks that ASA is having problems, but once Wild Card irons out all the bugs and optimizes the game, it's be a good rendition to the original.

give them a full year. even by then i doubt it will be playable. frequent game crashes, broken manual and auto saves, 50 fps on 1080p epic, imagine what you computers gonna be when u r fighting the overseer with the army XD.
people will say disable this disable that.... basically to run this game properly, you gotta make it look like ASE.

I think I will wait a bit longer.. I will check the next updates

Yes, it's not optimal. Far from it. But you can make it crash less. And you don't have to make it looke completely potato graphics, but like i said it's far from optimal. I'm running the game on A770-LE 16Gb, and average around 35-45 (less heavy areas around 60fps. Longest stretch i managed to play without crashing was 8 hours.

These are what i use. Res scaling (Not DLSS) on 50% (of 3840x1600). Water/foliage interaction off. Everything to low, then textures to Epic, Advanced to medium, AA medium, Post Process High (lower settings destroy image quality), Effects high. Particles/Decals enabled, Bloom On (or off, whatever you think looks best). Far LOD off. Use console to disable volumetric fog & clouds.

Maybe when they figure out the technical issues with this game we can run it with decent settings, but for now you are just banging your head against a brick wall trying to run this with high/max settings. If it's crashing constantly, lower your settings. Also, do not use fly mode (too fast = guaranteed crash) if it's crashing for you.

This could help as well. Quote from a post below

running high or low graphics isn't my problem. I have a 4090 and Core i9 13900K. running I can pull decent fps even without DLSS and frame gen. and I did turn DLSS off as it reduced the crashes by a lot.
whats frustrating is the fking broken saves. even the manual saves don't seem to work properly. you crash once and you are like 2h behind.

I was playing on a rtx 3050 and never had any crashes.... but today i upgraded to a rtx 4060 ti. everything all updated. crashing every 2 mins in single player. confused

Yes, just report the game as broken on steam's store page ain't worth the stress of loosing time because of CTD

Report your PC, becaue i had zero crashes the last 5 Days

And even before that, it was just maybe 1 a Day

That dudes been whining in multiple posts about reporting the game. Not smart enough to know EA games will have issues. Yet as like you I crashed once on Day 1 and have had 0 issues since.

[dmonroeschool]

I have the just over the minimum requirements and my pc is 3 years old and haven't had any crashes since day one.

servers crashing regularly is the biggest issue , 5197 goes down at least once per hour and takes few minutes each time to reappear in server list
