Game continuosly crashing within 1,5 minutes of playing

[Matta]

my game has now crashed for the 6th time with me just playing the game as normal. This bug has never occured before. anyone know a fix? i have som mods innstalled but i have had them for a while so i dont know if they are the problem. I am playing sandbox, and tried on franchise, but the bug didnt occur there

Sounds suspiciously like something in one zoo, yes?
Often times after an update mods will cause issues in saved games. They might not occur right away.
The best option is to remove the mods and their support files, verify game files and check if things work as expected. If all checks out then you can try replacing the mods one at a time to see if one is causing the issue.
All this assumes you have system drivers and windows updated.
Also note that this is sometimes caused by microsoft redistributable files needing updates/repairs.

Mods often do not keep up with any changes the patches and DLCs make. Maybe not use mods?

That's why I don't trust mods! that, and I'm not good with adding things like that, anyways! I don't remember the last time I had any computer classes. When it comes to this stuff, I'm like a Worm in a puddle-glub glub!

Mine has been doing this since the update. Multiple zoos, even relatively small ones. I'm still working with FDev on finding a fix, but so far nothing has helped.

And I don't have any mods.

I use mods! for me- a crash was occurring when I installed animal model replacement mods but improperly put them in the OVL folder. The game couldn't find the animal model in the Zoopedia and/or when the animal was placed into the habitat. If this is the issue, make sure the folder does not contain the actual mod.
However, since you've had them for a while (repeating what others said), could be the game or the mods need updating

There was a patch to the patch. Did you get that? 17.1

Just crashed for me as well I made a new thread about performance

[grampers62]

Many players that were playing with no issues and now have crashes. Be sure to check that windows and system drivers are up to date *and* then check microsoft redistributables for update or repair. For some odd reason windows update fouls those files and they need repair to reset them. You might need to do some more than once. They may be found in windows/settings/apps.

All .dll are installed correctly, the drivers are definitely updated, let's try to check the integrity of the game files

[Callie]

Same issue all day. Franchise mode - including in a new zoo - as well as career mode. I don't run any mods, have tried reinstalling, have verified integrity of game files (multiple times), verified device is up-to-date on everything. Still can't play :(

[grampers62]

To be clear, when you say crash do you mean the game hangs and stops responding or crash to desktop? Or are you referring to when the game pops up a cannot connect notice?

[hero32]

This problem was in the automatic exit to the desktop, without any freezes and problems
The problem was solved by re-checking the files, after two times the game was repaired and no longer crashed
