Stability Issues such as Crashes (CTD), permanent freezing, black screen, etc.

We do have the fix for this, we've just been unable to patch it.

I've just had word from Kon. He has been unable to get to somewhere he can do the patch from because the roads where he is have been closed by the snow, although they have opened up now.

Kon will post in the forums when he has been able to sort out the patch.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

[Brian Shingles]

Ok, I think I've managed to patch without Kon.

Please restart the game to get the patch.

Due to the monster snow storm that hit East US/Canada we were unable to patch this right away. I tried what I can to get to the office on Friday - most areas got between 40 to 60 cm of snow here, and roads were just impossible (I was considering skiing there - but that`s good 40 KMs)... But as you are reading this - it all has been resolved Stay tuned for an awesome patch tomorrow with lots of new features to make up for this mistake.

I get a lot of lockup/crashes in this game. Not so in any of the others I play.
Windows dll errors/unexpected terminate, ect.

I've got hardware monitoring turned on and cpu/gaphics cards are not overheating. Fans only run at 30% idle and never get above 70% while playing.

The latest crash I was afk looking at world map and the sound locked up. Started looping a small part of the music track.

Was watching town be built when sound locked up and started repeating a loot. Then game crashed with a C language error.

Thanks for the reports and the logs.

We'll investigate and fix what we can.

Just upgraded my grafics card and some minor windows update files, aswell as c++ since I had some major issues with crash to desktop with c++ runtime error over the past four days.


Now I got the apphang crash with the Mithrill.dll file as the culprit.

I have a high end 680 and I had the same problem whilst playing farcry 3 on a newer grafics card update, so I downgraded back then and I had less off those apphang crashes. And I am going to try to do that again to fix the apphang crash.

Most games nowdays are not made for high spec users. They are compitable with crappy mid to low end specced ones and its a bit annoying.
