Any fixes for the entering loadout crash? | Forums

[Epimenthus]

PC Specs:

i7 8700k
RTX 2070
16gb ddr4

game's running on an ssd.


The problem occurs once i open the "Loadout" the character does half an animation and then crashes straight to the desktop.

I've read that a potential fix is running the game in an offline mode but I would like to play coop... I can play coop if i just don't enter the "Loadout" but I can run around and just pick up weapons but again it's not exactly how i want to play my game.


As far as I can tell it's an RTX issue in general dating back to early December 2018 and i've yet to find a fix and nor have the dev's posted an ETA or even acknowledged the crash and are working on it.

It's semi frustrating.

Hi Epimenthus! One player on the forums has provided this workaround:

I believe I have my issues resolved. I have been playing GRW for roughly 6 hours after performing the following steps with zero issues. I apologize if these have been posted elsewhere here, so here it goes. This is based off the steps found on the Steam Community Forums. Props to GZNK for these, which I have tweaked somewhat to provide some permanence and more detailed steps. Give this a try and see if it clears up your problems too...

1.) Close and exit out of BOTH Steam and UPlay clients.
2.) Verify that neither is still running in the background via Task Manager. If so, kill them.
3.) Right click on your Steam shortcut or .exe etc and go to the compatibility tab.
4.) Select the "Run as Administrator" checkbox, click "Apply", then "Ok" (Steam may warn you of unpredictable results using Compatibility Mode; click "Ok" as it doesn't affect anything).
5.) Right click on your UPlay shortcut or .exe etc and go to the compatibility tab.
6.) Select the "Run as Administrator" checkbox, click "Apply", then "Ok"
7.) Launch Steam and UPlay again, and login to both.
8.) On your Steam Games Library, browse your Ghost Recon Wildlands game files by right clicking on the game name and clicking "Properties".
9.) Next, click on the "Local Files" tab, then click on the "Browse Local Files Button".
10.) Finally on the pop up Explorer window, find "GRW.exe" and "rungame.exe", then right click each, go to the Compatibility tab, and select "Run as Administrator".
11.) Click "Apply" and "Ok" on each .exe when performing step 10.
12.) Relaunch the game.

This yielded the following fixes/benefits...

1.) Game load times are drastically reduced (like from 30-45 secs to MAYBE 10 secs at most).
2.) Random stutters/freezing and CTDs went away.
3.) Loadout screen no longer freezes at all.
4.) Overall gameplay feels much smoother (could be placebo, but meh)

Must be some kind of permission dependency on some of the code for the game to run. Hope this helps some of the folks here.

Another player suggested running Uplay in offline mode has also resolved the issue for them. The GRW team are still looking into this issue. We apologize for any frustration.

Another player apparently has the following successful workaround:

Problems are new weapons... Just go offline mode and check all your new weapons in inventory then restart the game in online mode. This is workaround that works all the time on my game. You have to do this allways you find a new weapon until Ubisoft is fix this simple problem.
