Frequent Crashes

Post by bitsbytes »

Since a certain Beta 3.0 status of approx 4-6 weeks ago the game started crashing regulary, there are threads about this new behaviour, so this is known.

Since yesterday I changed to 3.0 Vendetta and these game crashes are - surprise surprise - not yet fixed.

So the new game update brought besides new content also regular instability which is not nice for a release version.

A few minutes ago the game crashed again, this time even during a save operation (F5).

Poor quality management ... you should have fixed these instabilities before releasing the game update, sorry but this is disappointing.
For what you did a BETA, for what people reported bugs ?!?!

We fixed all the issues we could in the time available. And if you look in the Beta forum you'll see that there is a new Beta available which fixes another crash issue. It would be helpful if you could try that out and see if that fixes the ones you are having, and report back on it there.

However, a crash during saving could potentially indicate a system issue rather than a game issue.

How to filter in Windows for game crashes ?

Post by bitsbytes »

I looked into "Windows Ereignisanzeige" (Event log?) but didn't find an enty for the X4 crashes.
If somebody would have time and patience to find out, how to get this information out of the logs, then I (and others) could try to find out, at what day the game instabilities in 3.0 Beta startet around 6 weeks ago. This information you could correlate with your change logs to get an idea what might have caused it.
Before that 2.x was stable and also Beta 3.0.
Today I had around 5-6 crashes in Vendetta, like the days before in the later Beta 3.0.
