The Kraken

[BKatt]

I've now killed it 4 times, 3 of which it crashed out to desktop.

Im not sure what i did different in the 1 try it actually succeeded, other than i didnt have inventory space enough for the quest item, so apparently i didnt get it.

Hi Bkatt,
could you send us the log.html file from after a crash in the Kraken fight? That would help a lot in finding the problem here. The log can be found here: C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Battle Brothers
Please send it to "[e-mail]" with a link to this thread. Thanks!

[BKatt]

It's been sent away, with some extra information i was able to gather.

There seems to be a problem with killing the Kraken by killing only the tentacles. We are on this! Until then it might help if you land the killing blow on it*s head.

[BKatt]

Alright, i'll attempt slaying it by hitting the head on the killshot. - I'll keep you posted.

I can confirm that, the two times i killed it by doing the killshot on the kraken itself, it worked perfectly. :)

Game crashed to Windows during Kraken fight

I've started the Kraken fight, gone through it almost to completion, then after landing a final strike that would kill it (at its tentacles, never hit the main head), the game crashed. Posting a screenshot below, and I'll go and dig up the log file as well (not quite sure how to post the log.html file here, though).

Whatever part of the code caused your crash is not gonna be the same thing they fixed 4.5 years ago. If you are not playing a modded game then sending in your log as described earlier in this topic could help them determine the cause. The log gets overwritten every time you launch the game though, so if you hadn't saved it after the crash then it's gonna be lost.

If you are playing a modded game, then it may be a mod causing the crash. Speed mods in particular are notorious for causing issues with the Kraken.

Just had the crash myself. First time killing the Kraken, tentacles only.

I saved everything for my crash, but haven't sent it off yet. But here's the end of my logfile...

4:42:27 SQ Raban the Cutthroat is unconscious.

Hello. Today I killed the Kraken 2 times, and both times it crashed. The fatal blow was delivered to the tentacles, because there was no more ammunition. Have you still not corrected this annoying error?) Do I need to make the final blow to the Kraken itself?

Same issue here, playing with all official DLCs, no mods, first time it crashed just in the mid fight with kraken, second time it crashed after I win it by hitting tentacle, got achievement, but progress was not saved to ironmode save. Never crashed before these two times.

The last attack (killing blow) must be done with a ranged weapon on the Kraken. These slackers never fixed this stupid bug/crash.
