Game keeps on crashing on new pc
On my new computer, my game keeps crashing whenever I do anything. Sometimes I manage to play for a few seconds, but most of the time it crashes as soon as I join a server or even when I just start the game.

A few months ago it worked for a short time until it started crashing again.

I have already reinstalled the game several times, checked the game files, and deleted all the associated game files (at least the ones I am aware of).

My guess is that it has something to do with the resolution, since I'm using a 4k monitor. However, I reduced the resolution to 1080p (my old monitor) and that didn't help either.

Any help would be appreciated. I really miss this game :steamsad:

question, do you happen to have a 6600 XT? Or an AMD card in general?

Me and many others have suffered from this crashing. Its supposedly AMDs fault but who knows.

I have a RTX 4090. Maybe it has something to do with the new generation of graphic cards? 🤨

The thing that worked for me is going to My Documents and removing the RedOrchestra2 folder every time before I start the game. You will need to change your resolution and sound settings every time when you start up, but at least it won't crash during your session.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work either. If I'm lucky I might be able to play for a while but as soon as I tab out of the game (which I eventually have to do), it crashes. Most of the time, however, it crashes already in the settings

Hello, maybe it is worth a try:

How do you change your resolution:
- in the settings, after launching the game?
- in the ROEngine.ini file?
- or with launch options?

Maybe you could try to add the following line to the game's launch options in Steam (right click on game's name, select properties, and look at the general tab):

-resX=1920 -resY=1080

and then launch the game and see if your game crashes shortly after of not.

I usually change the resolution in the settings after I start the game. Changing the resolution in the launch options, as you mentioned, doesn't seem to make a difference, unfortunately. Thanks anyway

AMD cards have issues. I would go for NVIDIA next build if you can

I've heard that a couple of times now. However, I have an RTX 4090

I think it's because the game is old and we have new powerful builds. It worked for me too, the only thing that helped was lowering the graphics settings.

It has nothing to do with it.

On another forum I was told that it is unlikely that the new hardware is the problem. However, I agree with you that it seems quite likely.

Lowering the graphics settings minimizes the problem, I think. But even then, the crashes are too frequent to really enjoy the game.

When I lowered the graphics settings to medium, the game never crashed again

Hm, maybe you have a different cause for the problem or I am just unlucky lol

Relevant factors to state

if on windows , have you tried compatability modes or installing dotnet or other libraries?
