Constant crash

[WolvenSpirit]

Hey, I was just wondering about a crash that keeps repeating every single time. I just unlocked fire ants (and unlocked abilities as well as max levels) and wanted to tackle Cold Blood.

Every time I try to launch the mission it crashes halfway through the loading screen. Can someone help me trouble shoot this issue? (Minimum graphics - aside from texture on medium-high - on a 16" MacBook Pro from 2019. It gave me literally zero troubles until now, the scientist must have hacked my steam account).

Same for me, 4.1 crashes on load no matter what. MacBook here too.

same issue here on a 2013 Mac Pro running OS 12.7.6, graphics running through an outboard GPU. crashes at the mission load screen and a window pops up reporting a crash in Unreal Engine 4.

Good thing is that the mission is not required. I played three earlier challenge maps to earn enough food and jelly and was able to win the next challenge. 4.2 as well as 5.1 and 5.2 worked well. So it’s only 4.1 that is crashing so far. It doesn’t block progress luckily.

Alright, clearly something Mac-specific in 4.1. It's been passed on to the devs!

update: it's not EVERY time for me, but i'd estimate 4.1 fails to launch something like 75%-80% of the time. other games seem to be successful much more often.

there seems to be a critical moment during loading when the walking ant in the lower left corner slows down briefly — at that point, either the game crashes or the ant picks up speed again and the game plays normally.

i'd be happy to forward a UE4 crashlog somewhere if that might help.

I have the same issue but i'm using windows this is my first time trying the level so i was confused so i think it's not mac specific

I'm also on Windows and I've been getting the crash as well.

I have exactly the same problem. Can't go further in the game now.

launching 4.1 from Play > Arcade > Remix is also not working properly

Thank you so much, sorry for the troubles but I would really love to enjoy this masterpiece in every little detail it has to offer. Seriously, I can't get my hands off of it ^^'

Come to think of, not only Remix but some arcade maps as well, it looks like it's a biome/map issue related to "The Swamp". I tried to launch one of the Extra Levels or Arcade (fail to remember which) that uses said map and it did crash too. There might be a map issue more than a loading one.

This isn't MAC specific. I had this problem months ago (windows10pro) after a new patch and uninstalled the game. New announcement, reinstalled and the game is still broken on 4.1 cold blooded challenge. I cannot play this challenge. I can play other missions, but this mission will crash the game on the loading screen.

It happened to me to Whats up with that?

Is the game old or maybe just something in it causing to crash

[[OnA1]Narath ** part time noob]

Game crashes out on my windows pc also crashes sometimes on trying to load 4.1, it has only happened when I would first play 4.1 on formicarium and having purchased and upgraded fire ants, crashes as much as three times before loading have not experienced crashes after having played 4.1 when loading into 4.1 with challenged enabled,
