OK so I was having the issue where for no reason at all the game would just crash. Anywhere in the game at anytime. It was totally random. All my temps were in the 70s on high settings.
HERE is what I did and it worked…I didnt think it would but it did.
When these developers make these games they use a specific platform and toolset and it seems like the Microsoft Visual C++ distributable 2017 is what this game was optimized for.
I hit the windows button and selected: Settings > Apps > Apps & Features then scroll down and see if you have Microsoft Visual C++ distributable 2017 (can be called 2015-2019 sometimes)
If you dont see this in your app list then that it the problem.
I hope this helps you, it made my day, it has been working for me for 2 days now. I wanted to test it before I made this post.
You do NOT have to remove older versions of the C++ and you DO need to RESTART after it has downloaded and you go back and make sure it is in your app list.
ALSO if you DO have iMicrosoft Visual C++ distributable 2017 (or 2015-2019) then either repair it or delete it and redownload the latest version on MS website.
It just randomly freezes (game sound keeps going) system is running stable, nothing is hot cpu is on like 30 % gpu load goes back to 0 as if there was no game running.
Played without any issues on the release day for 10+ hrs and also in the open beta for 20+ hrs… this issue started on day 2 out of nothing.
I’ve had the same issues without any resolve. Currently have a ticket submitted as of yesterday with the technical team.
Crashing/black screening - only fixes by restarting pc and re-queueing
Did you download each one from the sections? Or is there a specific one on that page to download?
Either way I did them all and repaired my 2015-2019 that is already showing.
I’ll let you know if it helps.
Same here. After the update I seem to be crashing way more. Quite literally unplayable at this point between queue times and seemingly guaranteed crashes.
Might request a refund if I don’t get any good answers from the technical team.
yeah all you needed to do was replace the 2015-2019. I am on day 3 and still no crashes even after update. There are probably multiple crash issues, but this one fixed mine and a few others I have talked to.
I deleted all the AGS folders in% appdata% and I was able to play for a couple of hours without problems, but as soon as I had to do alt + tab, it froze again, after that the freezes are constant again. So I don’t know if it was a coincidence or there is something else behind all this.
I put my core clock and memory clock speeds back to normal and the game crashed within 30 seconds.
I was able to play the entire day yesterday with the lowered clocks.
In queue now to try it again with lowered clocks. If this doesn’t work I’m out of options.
