Reported Crashes Since Update 2

[jasonBethesda]

Hey all,

We've been investigating the reported crashes that some players have been encountering since Update 2. We're working to resolve the issue.We'll let you know as soon as we have an update.

Thank you for your patience!

Yeah it's getting REAL annoying, I can't even pause the game for more than a matter of seconds or it crashes. Going into the various tabs is fine, like to upgrade weaps and powers etc or checking inventory but if if I bring up the Pause menu it will crash in about 30 seconds or so.

Purchased the game during Quakecon, been enjoying it quite a bit, but the crashes seem to be out of nowhere and the frequency of them tend to be random as well. Sometimes as soon as the game has launched into the menu and other times after a 3 hour session.

And yeah, some of the crashes seem to happen more often in the main menu of all things, not sure if that's a placebo effect of the crashes or a legitimate thing on my end, but others seem to confirm my assumption.

Just a random thought, but is everyone here, that's experiencing the crashes using an SSD like myself?.

[Pantherr]

No, I have it installed on my D drive, only my C drive is SSD.

Мне помогло из нижеуказанного права администратора на запуск стима и игры + минимальные игровые настройки при рабочем разрешении экрана - по крайней мере уровни теперь грузятся.
Из ппереписки с издателем цитирую:
You are welcome to attempt the following troubleshooting to see if it helps going forwarcd however, should the issue persist we do not have additional solutions that we can offer.

----- Run the game as Administrator -----

To run the game as an Administrator:
1. Right click the game in your Steam Library.
2. Go to Properties then the Local Files tab.
3. Click Browse Local Files.
4. Locate the game executable (the application).
5. Right click it and go to Properties.
6. Click the Compatibility tab.
7. Check the Run this program as an administrator box.
8. Click Apply.

Once you have done this, restart Steam and try launching the game again.

----- Run Steam as Administrator -----

In some cases, running Steam itself in Administrator mode may resolve the issue:
1. Navigate to your Steam install folder (Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).
2. Right click the Steam executable.
3. Follow the above steps to set it to Run as Administrator.
4. Restart Steam.

----- Verify the Integrity of the Game Cache -----

To verify your game cache:
1. Right click the game in your Steam Library.
2. Go to Properties then the Local Files tab.
3. Click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
4. Wait for it to complete.

This should remove any potentially corrupt or broken files and allow the game to run.


----- Disable the Steam Overlay -----

1. Open Steam and click Settings.
2. Select the In-Game Settings tab.
3. Uncheck the box next to Enable Steam Community In-Game and click OK. Disable the Steam Overlay on specific games only by right-clicking on the game title, selecting Properties, and unchecking Enable Steam
4. Restart Steam and launch the game again.

For me the game has crashed several times, but that's after saving and always during exiting to desktop. It also says running in the Steam client. Sometimes!!??

But not always, exit and cloud sync works as it should half the time.

But, although I should be thankful that, my games progress has always been saved before a crash it's just the most strange thing.

The last time I played was today. For the first time a pop up came and requested to send details of crash/pc. I did so, then it synced as normal. I assume this is new added by devs, crash reporter. It's needed, and I am OK with it for ONE reason. We are given the choice to send or not.

Well, thats how this new crash reporter works. Wouldn't be surprised if there were others, but on the other hand not confident if these codies even would know how to write such telemetry/reports mini apps. Amazing. Good game, but 3rd rate programming as in stability.

IMHO all problems seem technical. No issues with working game play, or art/design. So it's the technical multitude of problems that ruin this game for some/many.

Seems it affect different people/systems in different ways. I just cannot imagine how this kind of thing could happen!

Some games do crash rarely (not Rage 2 - others) for a variety of reasons, but the way things happen in Rage 2 is just boggling the mind.

I've never experienced anything remotely like this. I have over 300 games and been a Steam user for about 9 years. Sure a very few games crash. Most are very stable, Rage 2 is just all over the place.

I just don't know and dread to think of mess the code is in. Different scenarios for, some lose everything. Some lose nothing (like me so far - just luck I guess). And everything in between.

Lost for words really. (Words that would get me banned - plenty of them!!)

The game freezes in the "Save Game" menu. Up until today I was able to save before it happened but now I didn't. Haven't started the game since then but I'm afraid 90 minutesof progress will be lost... I have played 20 hours without this bug but now it happens frequently. Now I'm afarid to keep playing...

Holy cow poo. I am in a very similar situation except I haven't reached the last stage where it crashes BEFORE saving.

Heck, I better hurry up and finish the game - now I feel like I'm living on borrowed time.

It's funny when buffalo respawn dead though. I thought death and respawning were the opposite.

But once it went further, the buffalo fell through the textures, then I did, then I was face to face "outside," the game, floating in space with giant mutant coming after me. It arrived by elevator, which promptly fell through the textures. I died. Such disbelieve my fingers froze on the controller.

At this point I'm just about ready to give up playing the game entirely.

You'd think bethesda would have devs working the clock to fix such a major issue, with CTD's plaguing users all around.

It's easily the worst game this year for CTD's, hands down and it's response team has been slow as hell to this issue.

In future, play-test your games on various configs before launching any "AAA" game, because this kind of issue isn't acceptable at all.

I cannot refund the game, and I'm stuck with one that just crashes so many times, effectively making it a digital paperweight.

@ Sun Steaker. your said "In future, play-test your games on various configs before launching any "AAA" game, because this kind of issue isn't acceptable at all. "

Spot on true. They probably used no more 3 or 5 desktop systems. Not enough. AAA need a lot of testing on many many configs. They can afford it easily. With confidence I can say this wasn't play tested nearly enough, plus, worst of all, they couldn't have possibly used a lot of setups or they would have picked up the legion of bugs, a fair few people have.

The minimum specs are a joke, unless you don't mind all settings low, low frame rate. Yuck.
We can all tweak and fully utilize whatever resources at hand. Makes a difference. I disk clean and trim daily. Once a week I do a huge maintenance session. As a result my idle desktop cpu usage in task manager details is 1% 99% of it is free, doing nothing.

So we all can and should keep PC in highly optimized state. It helps. But, by far the biggest problem if poor performance is NOT the gamer. Its the coders and testers fault. Stupid engine too.

Bought the game with update 2 and have had crashes ever since. Turned down all settings thinking it was graphics intensive but still happens. typically it causes huge frame drop and then crushing. Glad this is being looked into as I want a refund.

I hope you get it. Just not right that so many people can't even play at all.

[Limygeorge]

At least there is a pop up crash reporter which just takes a click unless wish to comment.

I hope everyone does use that. I have everytime and guess most do too.

Wow, the Devs are going to get a lot of reports. But that's good. Should find out some patterns of why it happens. I believe there is more than one reason, but anyhow it's good to give them the data and carefully check with software (impossible to do manually - there will be so many.)

Then after, some weeks, week, or month the main reasons will be clear, leading to a patch.

At least that's the theory. I don' take anything for granted with this, and wouldn't even be surprised if did nothing about it. But, I do think they are doing something evidenced by the little crash reporter program.

I had my first in game crash today. I have had many on exit. Didn't lose any saves so at least that is good news for most of us. But I read some people have had to restart the game. That is absolutely unacceptable for a AAA game, which was very expensive. Even the sale 50% off, and it's still not a cheap game. Wolf young blood full price is less that Rage 2 50% off offer.

Not sure if that offer is still out, but there will be more.

Frustrating. Multiple crashes each and every play. The only thing consistent is the crashes do seem to occur in and around the Menu system. Pausing, Alt-Tab to Desktop, after saving, before saving. I can't recall another game with this many crashes around the menu system. If the Devs fix nothing else, please, PLEASE do something about these crashes. They ruin the game guys. It's a fun game, too, which makes it all the more frustrating. I don't want a refund, I want a working game.

I agree also, and how "Jaks" described it is what I am experiencing as well. This REALLY needs to be fixed so I, WE, can go back to enjoying this game. Please Devs...
