[Chuck-Bee]

I live in Quebec, Canada (US EAST) and since yesterday the game keeps crashing to desktop after about 5 minutes in the game. Am I the only one?

Crashes for me too, not since yesterday though, started after the 12.1 update. Two crashes to desktop after a couple of minutes on PC.

[AgentMikel]

Yup... There is a "small" problem in PC! It is crashing!

[Sneaky_RAFP]

6 crashes to desktop so far, now verifying game files see if that does anything.

[PKNecron]

3 crashes in 15 minutes since the update. Glad to see the Xbox update is working so well /s.

[Chris_P_Duck]

Yep, just logged in (PC), managed about 5 minutes before a complete shutdown of the game.
I'm also verifying files now to see if it helps

[voodoo-UK-]

Yea crashed to desktop sigh.

[PKNecron]

Rollback? I vote rollback.

[Sneaky_RAFP]

Oh well verifying files did nothing, within a few minutes of the game starting, it just crashes to desktop with no error message or codes.

11. Did they ever actually get 12 to run stable? I haven't tried it in more than a year.

[Sn0wBaaalL]

dx11

okay he is going to try 12 and see where that goes.

i also suggested rolling back drivers to a older one.

i am running ryzen 5950x with zero issues and latest NVidia drivers.

he is on 7700k, latest nvidia drivers and dx11

been running 12 for a few weeks seems ok for me atm.

[Grace_McClain]

Weird. PC gamer here, and zero issues at all.

[UbiBlush]

Thank you for reporting these crashes, going to raise this up with the team.

[PKNecron]

been running 12 for a few weeks seems ok for me atm.

Well, so far, DX12 has not crashed after 10 minutes or so. EDIT: Crashed at about 30 minutes, but I think this was just the DX12 being unstable crash.

[retro1236]

Verified files, haven't crashed for some twenty minutes now, still on dx11.

[Sn0wBaaalL]

Well, so far, DX12 has not crashed after 10 minutes or so.

awesome, whats your hardware ?

[Sn0wBaaalL]

Verified files, haven't crashed for some twenty minutes now, still on dx11.

what's your hardware? more ideas we got the better.

[Chuck-Bee]

It's not crashing anymore for me on Direct X 11.

[Sn0wBaaalL]

It's not crashing anymore for me on Direct X 11.

what have you changed ? my guy just crashed on summit after 20 mins ?

[Adze.]

No crashes this end.

[Chuck-Bee]

I just tried Direct X 12 and I have 2 issues. 1 the game crashed to desktop again. 2. I can't lock my FPS to 60. Even when I change it to 59.95Hz and put V-Sync ON it still goes above 60 fps. I prefer 59.95Hz because the colors are less washed out.

[Chuck-Bee]

Ok the games still crashes on Direct X 11. I hope it gets fixed soon.

[retro1236]

what's your hardware? more ideas we got the better.

980ti 4790k, still on dx11, haven't changed a thing only verified game files. Still no crash after an hour or so.

[Chuck-Bee]

I don't think it has nothing to do with my hardware since I've been playing the game since launch on the same hardware.

[w4rZnkNaRZn]

still ctd -.-

[Chuck-Bee]

I'm Verifying game files to see if it fixes the issue. I will reply after 10 minutes of in game.

[Jookeerrr]

I live on twitch, when my streamlabs app is open, the game closes for the desktop, but when I play td2 without streamlabs being open, the game does not close for the desktop,
after the update you have this problem

[SeetsAX]

Playing with DX12. Since TU 12.1 crashing to the desktop every 1 or 2 minutes.

[AgentMikel]

Well... It stopped crashing for me. I could play with both of my agents.

[Sneaky_RAFP]

Well I disabled MSI Afterburner & Riva Tuner OSD and no crash, so then enabled MSI Afterburner on its own and so far been in the game 30mins with no crash.

I was getting this last night., It is a real issue. No changes made on my system since the night prior. Never have problems with this or any other game -- and I kind of know what I am doing as I've only been PC gaming since 3dfx VooDoo era.

I was seeing a huge memory leak in tandem with this. System has 32GB RAM, and this game has never touched more than about 8GB. But last night, memory was leaking big time. Memory consumption by this process just grew and grew until it is consuming all, then you get the stutters, then long pauses, then 1FS and the game will just hang or CTD.

I replied in the PC section under a thread about memory leak, confirming this is real. And I expected to see exactly this today.

I was able to work around it last night, and I can't be sure what I did since I am not being paid to test and troubleshoot. But if I recall correctly, I changed video settings to change it from borderless windowed to fullscreen.

Ubisoft, you have a huge issue here and should have all hands on it.

Why do you still not test fully? Why do you not select members from your community that have decades experience and and would be willing to sign NDA? It's free help FFS, and in an area where you clearly need it.

[Chuck-Bee]

I believe I found the fix (at least for me) I did a (Verifying game files), ordered a large pizza, ate the pizza and now the game hasn't crashed for 30 minutes. I'm also streaming on OBS and it's all good until now.

[Jookeerrr]

pizza?

[BABarakuzz]

Same issue...constant crashing to desktop

[anteronoid]

The crashing stopped when i disabled RivaTuner Server before starting the game.
Had the same problem when the game launched way back.
Running intel i9 10900K, HyperX 64GB 3600 RAM and 2080ti

[keywal]

Logged in as soon as maintenance was over and played solo till I tried matchmaker about 10 minutes ago... It froze completely and had to force close the game.
Now can't get more than a few minutes and it crashes to desktop.

I'm on Ryzen 5900x, RTX 3080 and I just updated the drivers today...

[Kage-shi]

5 Crashes to Desktop in less than 5 mins since an hour ago. Was running fine last night before the patch.
