The fix is promised for today!

Sadly that was on the 7th and in theory we already just had our update and no dice. Unless they mean some other one.

Very irritating, it would be nice if an admin would reply in this thread to give us a glimpse of hope, I havenā€™t played ow2 for more than 5 minuets without it crashing.

I did recieve an update and put in the ā€“tank_WorkerThreadCount 2. However my computer wanted to restart, so Iā€™ll have to setcustom frames to 59 tomorrow after work and hope for the best.

#1606

well I jinxed it lol, guess the patch didnā€™t fixed this issue
my patience is on thin ice now

#1607

if your game version ends with 172 this update was launched before maintenance, so it shouldnā€™t be the one that fixes crashing

#1609

I have used these settings and my game didnt freeze first match! I will keep playing and see if it freezes, but im extremly happy i could play again, thank you soo much Hishimiro! Iā€™ll update the reply as I go!
Ps: the game also updated for me but i dont know if it is fixed from their update (i doubt)

There was a maintenance but didnā€™t see any update yet, might be unnecessary if the issue is server-side.

ok so Iā€™ll update on my situation a little bit here. My pc is an i3 dual core and constantly froze, sometimes even in the menu, despite having a good framerate and no issues otherwise. It was so frustrating.
Luckily I have access to a family memberā€™s pc, which has 6 cores, and I am no longer dealing with freezing. I just wanna be able to play on my own pc, guess Iā€™ll have to upgrade my cpuā€¦ Iā€™m surprised this issue was not addressed in the master post update today.

It makes the game unsmooth but it works yea, for me and a few other people.
I guess it depends on your config, it at least lowers the perfs a bit, should be ok if youā€™re way above the prerequisites.

Yeah im running a i7-10700k and a GTX 1650 Super and have 32gb ram
so I should be okay
