I just got the game yesterday and have been greatly enjoying myself, however I am facing an issue. My game keeps on crashing when i go from one zone to another. It happened a bit in the beginning then it stopped but now I am basically stuck.
I have reached the quest where I have to jump off the ship after killing the big guy but I just can’t progress. Every time I kill the boss, talk to the guy in the cage and when i try to jump the game crashes.
I am on windows 10. Game is running via steam
I have a 7600k and a 1060. Game runs smooth aside from the crashes.
Here is a gist with the log files and system information: LE log files · GitHub
LE has lots of performance related issues - crashes that seem entirely unrelated stop happening if you dial back on graphics settings…
Cant tell from the files you posted what your in-game settings are, but our systems are virtually identical except that you have a 7600 and I have a 7500 with a 3g 1060 instead of a 6gb…
For stability I run at 1080p, 60fps frame limiting, all settings on very low/low with things like
antialiasing disabled. Any higher settings and I begin to suffer from fps spikes and game freezes. Honestly I would not recommend that you run it much higher…
Can you try and use these settings and see if it gets you past the areas where you crash?
thanks for the suggestions. So here is what happened after i read your post:
I originally had the game installed in Steam due to way faster download speeds from there, so I thought I would re-install with just the normal installer.
I re-installed the game, tried testing the same thing, this time game crashed before I even jumped the ship.
At this point my game was completely broken. I couldn’t even start it to try to adjust settings. Game would just crash when opened and thats it.
I waited 2 days as I ran out of patience that day. Game seems to have been updated so I managed to start it.
I put all settings on low and managed to progress.
At this point I am not sure if it worked because of the settings change or because of an update or what but it somehow worked.
I would still love to hear from someone from the LE team. Is there someway to get to the bottom of this and figure out what actually happened?
Hey… Glad you are playing again… Thats the most I think we as players can ask right now…
The update could have affected it … Definitely, but my money is on the graphic settings as this has been the solution for the majority of other people having similar crashes…
As to hearing from the EHG devs… Cant offer any excuses on their behalf… I have no affliation with them. However, considering LE is in Beta and the devs have limited resources and are focussed (for good or bad) on content & multiplayer right now, I figure that they might respond but are unlikely to have a silver bullet solution until they can dedicate themselves to the performance & optimisation issues the game has… I am confident that they will eventually figure these issues out…
Its why people like me chip in on the forum to help out where we can as a way of supporting the game… Honestly if I anything I suggest can get someone playing the game again, whatever the original cause, thats good enough for me right now.
Hey man thanks again for your response and detailing everything.
As for the devs,. I get it as I am a developer myself(not games, just web) but I know how the process goes and the issues related to releasing a product and optimizing it. And yes I understand its a beta and there are issues, but an issue like this that literally prevents from even playing at all/starting the game, I feel needs to be addressed. We all know that even if the game has the most amazing content, if I can’t start it, even if I want to i won’t play it.
Anyways, I hope they at least see this and if someone is having the same issue finds it as well.
