PTR - Keeps Crashing on login

I’ve managed to get into the PTR once, in the last few days but normally after I click my character it just goes to the page that logs in and music plays and it just times out. Get blue spinning wheel and nothing happens. Any ideas. I have tried reinstalling it. Must of tried logging in in about 15 times

I have a problem like that … I am speaking with @Kay about this … I don’t know if we have the same problem but can you check your CPU temps the time that the game stop responding?

In my case, the CPU hits 90C and then comes the freeze…

Hello! :mage:

I understand you both (@kotsokale and @Nutleyboy) have been experiencing crashes lately when trying to log into the PTR. I’m sorry to hear about that, that shouldn’t be happening! Have you tried any troubleshooting steps for this?

I see that @Nutleyboy has tried reinstalling it without success, and that @kotsokale has noticed a considerable increase in their CPU temps. This is truly odd!

In this case, I would aso recommend that you check out the following official resource where you’ll be able to find great troubleshooting steps for these kinds of situations!

Please go ahead and try these to see if they help!

Additionally, if these fail to solve the issue, It is always a good idea to Contact Us via our live chat service so one of our colleagues can help you raise a web ticket for this specific situation! Your game’s logs may be needed. You’ll be able to retrieve them by following these steps:

Instructions for finding the in-game logs:

  1. Press Windows+R on the keyboard, type %appdata% and press enter.
  2. Open the most recent file from this folder: /AppData/local/AGS/LogBackups.
  3. Paste the contents of the file into your message.

I hope this information helps!

Farewell!

R (1)

I don’t have logbackups.

I have User_preload_settings & rebindings & analytics_uuid and a file called savedata

CPU does not get hot (45 degc) but FPS jumps to 0.2 and Ping to 4335.3 ms and nothing happens

@distantefix Any ideas why I don’t see this file?

I’m having a similar problem. I can get into the game (PTR) but after usually less than a minute, the game just instantly freezes and then needs to be shut down. Again as reported from these guys, my CPU % tends to spike before this happens. I have another friend who is able to play it fine but I cannot play for long before freezing
