:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

Since the xbox update, my mod, which used to seldom crash, now crashes consistently. I attach the mdmp files in the hope that you can tell me if the issue is related to a tracked issue and is likely to be resolved or not. I’ve spent well in excess of 1000 hours developing this mod and I don’t have any idea what is going on this time.

I’ve disabled overlays though obviously other players may not have.

I’d be grateful to know if this is a known issue, or, if it is relating to specific units/trigger effects, any relevant information so I can mitigate the crashing would be appreciated.

Hi @PsychoticSock1
I talked with the team about this issue.

More dump files for analysis

during the PUP I uploaded like 7 mdmp files for them and surprisingly they fixed it by next patch, only in a span of around 3-4 days over the weekend too. it kinda sucks we have to test/replicate crashes but if theres PUP at least we get a chance to let them know before they push out a patch.

were you getting the similar crash during the previous PUP?

I could only test the pup with one player as most people can’t follow instructions to install it!

oh yeah ive got that problem as well. could only get 2 players to help me test, two others wanted to try but were on gamepass and not steam 24

I’m happy to try to help you, just likely to be very difficult to get 8 people’s free time to align!
