Why does this game still crash all the fkin time?

Sure, I get that the engine is still single threaded and Wintermaul has lots of stuff on screen at the end of the match.

But when I host a game and it crashes before the third round?? How is this still an issue with WC3 reforged? It’s like Blizzard has intentionally restricted any possible improvements to this game year after year.

Any ideas how to stop this crap from crashing?

5800x3d/5070Ti latest drivers and windows 10 updates (issue happening through multiple builds)

I remember reading on one of the PRT threads, apparently new 2.0.1 patch had offset some of the world editor variables, and that causes issues for custom maps. Reforged’s updated engine can struggle with older maps that were created with older versions of the World Editor, especially if they used custom assets or complex effects.

Also, issues with the game client it self, memory management errors (custom maps causing access violation or invalid memory access) or connection problems can crush game client.

See if you can replicate this behavior on an intel machine with at least an RTX 3000 serise

check error log for insight.

Good luck!

It’s not th e game crashing all the time, its this particular map of yours crashing. Only the map maker can fix that. As the poster above alluded, this is mostly the current version of the game not playing nicely with some older maps. These problems can be fixed by the map author.

At least, that’s all i can derive from your post. Maybe you should play “not wintermaul” and see if it crashes then. I’m betting it won’t, because my client doesn’t crash and I don’t see a ton of people complaining about the game crashing all the time everywhere regardless of what they’re doing.

I crash all the time too, since about 3 months ago. Every time I play a custom game, doesn’t matter which game it is, I will crash within 5-30 minutes. Sometimes I get an error access to some place in memory null. Sometimes I don’t get any error.

I’ve tried every solution I could find to fix issue but nothing worked. Reinstalling game, trying different graphics drivers, etc… I swear my game didn’t crash all the time prior to 3 months ago but now it crashes literally every game.

My game regularly crashes when exiting. Crashes still occasionally occur after starting a game, though not nearly as common.
