Crucible CRASH!

[Farky]

damn it crashed at 74 last time, now on apocalypse it crashed on 24...
Is there a commitment from the devs for fixing this? Can we expect a fix soon?
The best quest in the whole game is Crucible and I can't finish it.

Love the game, can hardly wait for Darksiders 3!!! ;-)

Try turn off Damage numbers in game options or use necromancer skill tree.

i turned off dmg in options, but it crashed again at wave 19
based on what do you recommend necromancer tree?
Note that I haven't used any harbinger skills. I went for the health steal possessed weapon so i practically wouldn't need skills/potions for a long time in crucible...

It is sooo annoying. I really want to do this quest.
crashed at 49 again... LOL....

I'm start today Crucible first time. All waves from 1 to 74 clear in a one long run, no crashes. 75 wave - Lvl 30 King Argul and on last difficulty this battle just unreal. Boss always kill me with one hit (freeze me and i'm die after freeze debuff even if i use potions). I'm try 4 times (use checkpoint on 50-75 waves) but always die after this debuff. This is a pain.

I was also lucky first time on nomral diff going to 50 straight without crash.
But now it just wont let me do 25 waves without a crash.
This really needs to be looked at.

That me helped!

well it just got crashed in the middle of wave 100, the first time when i made that far. I am getting very disappointed. Just to be on the safe side, i will do a clean install of win10, because i picked some odd things since i upgraded. maybe some MSI drivers got corrupted. hell if i know. I hope that one day I will be able to play the crucible without crashes..
but in wave 100... that was dark... even for a crash... :)

UPDATE: i tried again, and it crashed again at wave 100. Is it just me experiencing this??
honestly i am getting a little mad. :)

UPDATE: i just needed a few more hits in Absalom but it crashed again. this is very annoying. I am gonna do a clean install of my system and update after it. However, I would really welcome some sort of feedback from devs or anyone who had this issue and got it fixed in some way.

Hi @farky. Though I'm not the one that originally posted the recomendation to go down the Necromancer tree the answer to your question (i.e., "based on what do you recommend necromancer tree?") is that a great Harbinger build necessarily requires investment in boosting crit chance %. The issue is that when the dmg counter option is enabled and many enemies are simultaneously struck by critical hits and the game has to render those crit dmg numbers on screen the game crashes. That has been my personal experience and the experience of many others including console versions of the game (Google told me that). So since a good necro build will not trigger crit dmg as much the game is less likely to crash if your issue is the same. But if your game is crashing for a different reason then going necro nor disabling the dmg counter will help you.

Finally, I want to emphasize that the crit dmg issue is not some hand wavy throwing darts in the dark suggestion. I've been able to consitently, as in ALWAYS, crash my game by doing a lot of simultaneous crit dmg. Then I disable the dmg counter option and retest and no crash. A good place to test if this issue affects you is the first two paths in the Soul Arbiter's maze. Assuming you have 100%+ crit chance, simply let the enemies cluster togther then execute Reaper or a normal strike w/ a heavy weapon such as a mace or ax. If the game crashes while rendering the gold crit dmg numbers but doesn't crash when the dmg counter is disabled then you know this issue affects you too.

Well, it's sad but the crucible is unplayable in Deathinitive Edition. Last two days was crashing in Absalom (wave 100), finally I could finish it once. Yesterday and today game crashes in Gorewood (wave 23) all times.

I tried to play downloading beta version and now crashes at wave 18.

i reinstalled my whole system. everything from clean scratch and it still crashes the same way. I use same drivers, etc... I can't imagine it is my system.
So disappointed. I don't play DS2 nowadays because I got too frustrated. Back to CS:GO again.
I really spent a lot of time work around this issue but no success. I wish such bugs were not released or at least got fixed.

i had the same problem i had as you i did everything they told me what i did was disable damage then i changed the resolution to 720P instead of 1080p and that somehow allowed me to finish without crashing on abselon

dont go blaming your entire setup on lazy development.. these issues have been known since the "deathinitive" edition launch in early november.. but have been out right ignored by the developers. Support is completely gone for this game and now just an afterthought.. they clearly released this broken piece of trash for a quick cash grab.. and whats sad the Original copy of DS2 runs and performs much better yet its no longer on Steam due to this steaming pile of garbage
