Nintendo Switch crashes during Colossal Ancients

North America: Ladder. Less than 10 seconds into the Colossal Ancients fight, my screen froze and an error popped up, crashing my Nintendo Switch. My game was gone when restarting D2r. This is a problem because of how long it takes to acquire the statues. Is there any way Blizzard could give people replacement statues if this error occurs? I’m worried if I try to do this again I’ll just lose another batch of statues.

Edit to add details: My switch was in docked mode, connected to my TV. Internet connection was wired. I’ve never had issues previously with this game crashing on my Switch, and Colossal Ancients was the only part of this game I hadn’t played on the Switch before this attempt.

Just like Shenk dying sometimes lags the game or Mosaic animation lags or drops players.

The system can’t handle all the procs on screen at once and if continue it will damage it. So it auto shutdown. Like how a Surge protector works.

At least thats what I think is happening.

Yeah that makes sense. I’ve definitely noticed the slowdown on Shenk and in some other similar situations. Hopefully this isn’t much more than a meaningless sample size of 1, but I’m just worried this could be a continual issue with the Colossal Ancients. It takes too long to get these statues just to burn them for nothing.

Many others experience the same thing. I’m holding off until these new bugs are fixed.

Good to know, thanks. I’ll hold off too. I haven’t had issues with crashing with any other part of the game, including Uber Tristram. Hopefully there’s some kind of patch soon.

This has happend to me twice now on my switch 2. So I’ve wasted 2 sets of statues countless hours of game play farming statues…

Same here, game has crashed twice, all of the two times I’ve tried.
