Matrix Games Forums

Based on yesterday's reports, we did find a few issues that could cause new hangs/freezes/crashes with 1.0.2.6. We've released a 1.0.2.7 Hotfix for those who are willing to try a manual update, otherwise these issues will be fixed in a normal update on Monday:

You can find the hotfix here:

Holy Cow, the last two updates made the game more or less unplayabe on my PC.

My PC is on the older side, but is still able to run Borderlands 3 and Rimworld with decent Framerate.

In the beginning I was able to run DW2 on double speed and watch Netflix on my second screen.
At the moment crashes are so frequent that 5 Minute Autosave is not enough
Single speed fullscreen game has frequent hang-ups, glitches and feels like a Bethesda Game on release date.

I did fiddle a bit with my race files, but nothing special, eveything worked before.
I include my latest save-file and the log folder, though for the last two days the game did not create any crash logs.

Because there is modding involved and the crash logs you shared do reference issues with modded files, could you please back up your mods and try this:

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are still having any crash or launch issues with DW2, we recommend taking the following steps prior to playing with 1.0.2.6 or later to make sure corruption from previous crashes is not causing any ongoing issues:
1. Delete the gamesettings and gamestartsettings files in the /data/ sub-folder of your installation directory (In Steam right-click on the game in your library, then choose Properties -> Local Files -> Browse. On GOG you can find this through Manage Installation -> Show Folder)
2. Delete any old saved games in the /data/savedgames sub-folder of your installation directory.
3. Verify all installation files (in Steam right-click on the game in your library, then choose Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Files. On GOG it is Manage Installation -> Verify/Repair).

Thank you, this seems to be the solution,
I thought I was careful enough with my additions, guess I have to start over.

As per my google form error submission. Any help to fix this would be much appreciated as I very much enjoy the game in it's current state, asides from the general performance and chronic crashing issues.

The game crashes after a couple of minutes of playing on full speed then attempting to save. It happens every-time.

pls give info on update

I believe they said that the 1.0.2.7 manual hotpatch they released on Saturday would be coming out today. I'm curious if there will be anything beyond what was just in that hotpatch though.

In Tech Support they said there is a 1.0.2.8 patch that we should get instead of 2.7, yet I don't see it available for download anywhere and GOG doesn't update with it either. Was it removed?

This and 1.0.2.7 have been replaced by the new 1.0.2.8 update.

Can you clarify on what is new on the 1.0.2.8 update that wasn't included in the manual 1.0.2.7 hotpatch?

Look at the patch details on Page 1 of this thread.

Each time there is a new patch the details of that patch are updated on page 1.

I'm happy to report that my game, which was stuck in a state where saving was freezing the game at a given point (after stage 3 of the human storyline would be my guess) is now working again, saving being done without issue.

Not a single crash yet with 1.0.2.8!

Any chance that a setting could be added to allow reducing the nebula GPU load?

Likewise, no crashes at all since I installed 1.0.2.8! Keeping my fingers crossed it stays this way.

Per the roadmap, we are aware of performance issues on some systems with regard to nebulas and if the low level fixes don't resolve these, we'll work on that as well as a separate priority.

The game keeps crashing, when I have it minimized and on pause in the background.
And sometimes when I spend a lot of time in the Ship Designer.

This is sad, especially when I am on the forums

I only got a Screenshot of this one, next time I try to get the log.

My biggest performance issues are when the survey green/yellow UI turns on. Is this a known issue/being addressed?

Ahh sorry, didn't see that. Thank you so much!
