Constant Crashing

[Maxinfinity]

Up until the update my game crashed maybe twice since its release and now its like every 30 mins reguardless of what i'm doing

[brucel]

same here

[SprocketMan]

I'm getting crashes too, majority have been when accessing the Park Management tabs, but could be coincidence.

Have you verified the game's files? When it comes to updates and new DLC, I usually will verify my game's files. Sometimes in the progress of downloading and installing, there is a glitch in the process.

everytime you touch the research tab it crashes. Makes it unplayable especially when it is part of a to do in career

[buysdave]

Yes... same here...

[Bilbo]

crashes all the time for me

[JennxR]

Same here, every time i try to open the research tab it crashes.

[bigbrotherjunkie]

same for me, the game will load up and in which ever park I load up, I cant move scenery or rides, when i try to place something the game crashes

[LadyK]

I had to uninstall the new DLC, reinstall the game and start a fresh park in order to stop the crashes. COuldnt use my 300 hour save anymore...

Have spent most of every day since the update troubleshooting trying to get the game to work & be anywhere near as stable as it was before the 'fix' again. Where I maybe got 3 crashes pre update the game constantly crashes now, on old or new saves, in sandbox & career mode, & even completely empty sandbox parks. I have a PC with higher than recommended specs and was getting consistently well over 60 FPS before with a highly decorated half full sandbox park am now getting 16 - 48 FPS now with the FPS, CPU & GPU all stuttering to a complete halt intermittently in an almost empty new test sandbox park, when the game will run at all.

Have tried everything I can think of including: ensuring windows & every possible driver are updated; uninstalling the game & reinstalling with just the latest DLC omitted and again with no DLC (validating install files each time); run full diagnostics on my PC to ensure the issue isn't on my end; even tried rolling back the installed version of the game to before the latest patch (as it was working for me before the update), only to find the update somehow managed to break that release of the game as well. Have submitted a support ticket, but I doubt it'll be responded to before the new year at this stage.

The only thing I've managed to narrow it down to is that it seems to be something related to the UI 'fixes' as the UI usually breaks just before the game crashes completely, but even that isn't consistent as sometimes the game will crash just trying to load into a new empty park. And there is a memory leak, but only sometimes. None of the crashes & UI breaking bugs are consistent which makes troubleshooting all the harder, the only thing that's consistent is that it will freeze or crash within 10 mins of booting up. Oh, and just to make everything even better: tried installing it on my housemate's PC to test and it seems to work completely fine there with no issues at all. Great.

Considering how many of us have had our games completely broken by the update I'd hoped for some kind of statement from Frontier, even just a post on their forums stating that they know the update has created unforeseen issues for some players & they're working on a fix, anything but the radio silence from them so far.

TL/DR cos that ended up being an essay: The update completely broke the game, no troubleshooting's worked, cue bitter disappointment at that, the 130 odd hours wasted on a game I can no longer play, & the lack of communication from Frontier so far

I totally agree with you.
Have the same problems and also tried all kinds of things but nothing works.

By now I have already put 300 hours of work into it (even though it was still on when I was doing other things). Would be a shame if all that was for nothing.

Have also put my complaints in as many places as possible but nothing in terms of messages from Frontier back.

Of course the first thing to do is verify game files. But also verify/update steam common redistibutables. These days most players will have up to date drivers but go ahead and confirm those. But note that the product has many instability issues for pc currently.

[Maxinfinity]

I have checked files etc all seem good it was as stable as any game for me before the update my game will actually crash when i'm not doing anything aswell like if i have it running and i'm afk for 10 mins it will crash most of the time. so for me its either the update or the ride dlc thats causing the issue.
Im running on a MSI raider GE78 HX 14v so its definately not the hardware

[Trakehner]

I only have had a few crashes. Mainly trying to go into the settings. But I went out of town a few days, came back and fired up my only park, which is big...and it is unplayable. Massive lagging and freezes non-stop.

I can't edit anything at all in it either.

[joshualee.fletcher]

I am in the same boat. I had maybe one crash pre-update, but now it crashes every 5 or so minutes every time I play. I have verified game files and also checked all the specs. Anyone find a solution?
