Continual crashes - any response from FDEV?

[Fnord Velkor]

Can't play the game at all. Staring today, every time I run the game it crashes within minutes.

Ticket submitted.

Any chance of a comment from FDEV @sallymorganmoore since this seems quite widespread.

I am unable to get in game also, keeps crashing at start up.

Yes.

CTD on Steam

Hello, as of this morning the steam version of Elite won't start for me. CTD as soon as the shader generation starts. With Shades turned off, the crash occurs on planet generation. The epic version launches fine. Anybody else encountering this problems?

Glad to see Fdev keeping up

Huh Intresting, Im going to test that on my system now. Havent been able to play all day.

I will let you know how it goes.

Saddly it crashes in Horizons 4.0 for me as well as Odyssey 4.0.

 

[BL1P]

Horizons Legacy works.

 

[GraphiteGB]

Both my steam and epic version got in on GeForce now to 4.0 horizons... Steam GeForce now been broken on legacy for a long time as it require reinstall...

so not so simple issue...

 

[Alezander Corben]

P.S. Legacy works but no Live (v4) does.

Mine was crashing just like that this morning. Reboot didn't help. I don't know if this helped or was random, but, in the launcher I went to manage and did its built in file check. It hung at 0 for a minute but finished after a few. Then, I started to switch to horizons, but, got lazy and switched back and tried Odyssey, running fine since.

Crashes I was getting to desktop were flying around and looking for biometrics around mountainous areas.

CTD immediately

Worked fine yesterday

Running file validation from launcher...

Fixed... I think...

Getting CTD on exit now

I don't know how they do it

Back to CTD on loading game

Total FAIL

Got my usual amount of gameplay in yesterday. There was a crash while I was looking at the Frontline map; but that used to happen occasionally.

New weirdness was I finally got the no-info display at a CZ that I heard so much about but never seen. CZ still worked though, was just a bit inconvenient. Other weirdness was I had to apex back, but that was probably related.

Must've been server-side issues, can't see how everyone would start crashing without a client update.

 

[SlickPBW]

what a cluster!

i'm getting constant ctd's. unable to even get to client menu.

validated files, and now the game constantly crashes at around 78% "preparing planet generation system" even though I have not done any of the listed things that should cause this to have to be done.

this is SO typical of the way this game is being managed.
