CTDs - Possible workaround

[Michal]

Hey Guys!

It seems that the game might have problem with refresh rates/framerate higher that 60 Hz/FPS.

If you are experiencing constant crashes then please try lowering refresh rate of your monitor or your framerate to 60 FPS/60Hz.

You can lower your max framerate in programs like MSI Afterburner/RivaTunerStatisticsServer.
Or just lowering refresh rate in your graphics card settings.


We are currenlty working hard on those pesky CTDs!

UPDATE #1:
Freesync option also may interfere with the game's stability. Try disabling it and get us know if it helped!

------------
UPDATE #2:
Try disabling VSYNC option. It may help with crashes!

------------
UPDATE #3 (thx Hjalfnar_HGV!)
For anyone trying to run this game with 8GB of RAM or less, especially older RAM like DDR3 1600mhz, try increasing the size of your pagefile.sys to something like 20GB. Apparently this works for some people.

This is a Unity engine problem, not one of the game itself. I know it from BattleTech which uses the same engine. The BattleTech devs were able to optimize the game after a few months to reduce the RAM load...a few months after full release that is. That this problem is now already discovered during Early Access is actually a good thing.

------------
UPDATE #4
There might be some issues if it goes to AMD and Freesync technology. It may be not triggering properly. If you are having issues with the game stability, then try launching it the following parameters:

-window-mode exclusive

To do it: Go to game's properties on Steam, click on 'Set Launch Options and type in the command.

------------
UPDATE #5 (thx Sternradio!)
If you got older CPU, then this migh help!

UPDATE #6
We uploaded a beta patch. Please check if it fixes your problems!

UPDATE #7 (thx balu0)
If you want Borderless mode
- In game menu select windowed mode and your native resolution
- quit the game
- set launch parameter in steam -popupwindow
- start the game
- enjoy

So sick of crashing within minutes of gameplay... I just want to enjoy the game.
Edited review and will not recommend until this game is free of debilitating bugs ffs.

What ever has changed in the last few betas Has cured my CTD for now. Till b120 I couldnt play more than a few minutes. In fact Its the first time Ive been able to leave the dock. Holding off a few versions to change my review, but Good so far.

i was @ manual FPP flak gun. walked out of the room, had a smoke, came back. my keys were backlit, the laptop was still on, but the screen was dead.

reboot.

when i fired up steam to my surprise its as though uboat isnt even installed? *whatthe* even though technically it is, the folders are anyway. ...

? steam prompting me to install the game. thats a new one. hmm...

Torp outside the tube bug fix, just heat the torp or replace it with a new on your inventory, it works for me

Got an issue after installing windows 10 1903 where 2 things happens. First when I start the game the uboat - unity 2018.2.20f1_cef3e6c0c622 box shows up breifly and the game doesnt start. Then when clicking start again it starts but all I get is a black screen and steam telling me that I can access steam by pressing ctrl-tab. I see the framecounter ticking so the game seems to be running.I can click on the keyboard and nothing happens. I cab tab out without any issues andgo back but still nothing. When I click the mouse the game closes and Isee in steam that it syncronizes so it seems that the game is running properly.I have reinstalled the game and changed between different sorage devices to see if that was an issue. I have run a file verification without any issues. Anyone got any suggestions or is it a known issue?

Game is crushing when trying to enter Training or Sandbox mode. i7 CPU is definitely supporting SSE4.2, enlarging page file to 20GB, switching off VSCALE, running with exclusive trigger did not help. I can send you crush reports if you will tell me how to collect them.

I've now got a couple of crashes with instant reboot of the computer (not just a CTD). It occurs sometimes when I hit an enemy vessel and looks on it in the upcoming explosion , note the screenshot.

I suspect when my view is in a specific angle and it is inside the pillar of fire, it will cause a reboot.

I'm using b120, windows 10, i7-4770K, 32 GB RAM, GTX 980 Ti (driver version: 24.21.13.9924)



EDIT: I just got a reboot when I looked "deep" into an explosion via the observation periscope

It seems that I have a crash when an enemy ship comes into view. In addition, it often comes when loading scores directly to crash. The tutorial could not even be stopped because it always crashed in different places.

Third attempt to play the tutorial. The game "crashes" during the carrier mission "entering erea" loading pop-up. It does not really crash, but won't finish loading, while I can still give orders, set course, etc. I have experienced some minor graphic bugs, but no CTD, "real" crashes or such yet.

Maybe it was by accident, but you surely mean verdammt. Verdamft means vaporized and is spelled verdampft correctly. ;)
