Some experience game crashing after tutorial

[Wartile]

Hi everyone,

Some players experience the game crashing after completing the tutorial or pressing resume.

We have patched the build and hope this will solve the issue.

Please let us know if you experience any crashes immediately after completing the first level.

Best regards

Played for the first time tonight, had the same thing happen, crashing after level 1.
Glad you are on it.

I found the reason why the game crashes. It is affected by OpenSSL SHA bug on modern CPUs: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/troubleshooting/openssl-sha-crash-bug-requires-application-update.html
I've tested workaround mentioned there on GOG version, game no longer crashes after tutorial.

Can confirm, i've done it and 2 other games i had with similar crash were fixed too (Odyssey - the invention of science and Treasure Hunter simulator)

Hi everyone

We might finally have a fix to a bug that affects some of our players with newer CPUs.

We have uploaded the patch to our Wartile Beta Branch for testing.

Since we cannot reproduce the bug on our current systems, it would be a great help if anyone affected by this crash bug would test our Wartile Beta branch with the patched version of Wartile.

How to enter Wartile Beta

Right-click on Wartile from the game library and choose properties.
Select BETAS and Select the beta you would like to opt into: choose Beta - Early testing of upcoming changes.
Close the window and wait for the new build to upload.

If Wartile no longer crashes after completing the tutorial, please let us know = or =

We know this is lots to ask, but any help to confirm this bug has been fixed will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

I use the Beta. I have still crashes. In my opinion less frequent then before. After the workaround from "Tiga" Post #3 the crashes had stopt.

Hi AllBetter, Thanks a lot for your feedback. It was Very helpful.

the beta works 4 me., but that just make another problem.. now game wont close down from steam. game is not on sight. but steam using 2h + and still think its running.. forcing game to shot down wont help. and close steam wont help.. restart pc and it might help. but game still running. so 1 bug fix just make another bug

Thanks a lot for your feedback dromm. We will look into this issue. Wartile was running on a version of Unreal from 2019, so updating to a new version often has a few side effects and some of them we are not always able to discover by ourselves.

Beta version worked to avoid crash after first level (Win11, Intel i9 11th gen)
