Sadly I have the same problem … game crashes as soon as I try to connect to an online character… I have Core i7 6700k, GTX 970 and windows 10 … so sad I can’t play with my friends after waiting for so long for this patch .
I have the same exact problem, using a VPN fixes it and connects normally but using a vpn to play is extremely frustrating and laggy for me, if I dont use it I get the same exact problem, 1 minute connecting then the game crashes.
I have the same problem. GTX 1660 here. I’ve played in the past with no problems. Downloaded again to try the multiplayer and it’sd impossible to login. It happens to me, altough less often, in offline play too. I tried fresh install, verifying steam files, disabling cloud save and steam overlay. Nothing seems to work.,
I tried using a VPN already and it didn’t fix it for me, sadly. My problem may be slightly different too, since I’m having those crashes sometimes when playing offline,
Same issue for me, exactly as per OP, can we have developers comment here?
Not working VPN for me and same issue for offline mode. I’ve got 170+ hours with this game and all characters maxed, then had a break. Now decided to return, updated to 0.9 and have this issues. Quite annoyed.
UPD: Before crash I’m now having green loading bar, which doesn’t come to the end and game crashed pulling all open applications not working or working very slow (i.e. Chrome/Steam etc)
Exactly!! The system requirements on steam says recommended is 16 gb and I have 32 gb of ram. The odd thing is that offline play works just fine so it is not memory thing, it is for sure something to do with online play
Maybe it will help somebody else. I spend some time trying reinstall a lot of stuff and couldn’t get past menu, character screen or even crash a lot of times at the start of the game. I see you are creator of that topic and you guide me to solution of my problem then i am thankful to you for that =)
I don’t understand why there is complete radio silence from EHG about this issue, they haven’t even mentioned it exists or that they’re working on it, all they’ve posted recently is that all connectivity issues have been resolved and boasting online player numbers, when a large portion of those players are having to use a VPN to even play and an even larger number aren’t playing at all because they don’t want to use one/don’t have a VPN, what’s even more frustrating I never have any problems connecting to any other online game.
About the connectivity issue, can someone tell me what are the network protocols and ports to allow on routers/firewalls ?
I looked for it on Google but did not get relevant results
