Crash every time using any whisper

all my files attached in the drive link below:
Player.log
Player-prev.log
crash.bin
DataStore.zip
no dxdiag - linux

description says it all. can’t use any fast travel at the moment on any character on any realm. not sure what caused it.

i was playing yesterday since the patch, and used whispers to fast travel - and it was fine.

if anybody knows a temporary fix please let me know

so far i’ve only tried verifying game files - did not work

Oof, sorry to hear that Hubristic!

Any mods you have installed that might interfere with Whispers?

Is teleport rune also affected?

Silas

it’s ok, i turned it into optimising resource routes on the way home lol.

later, after turning pc off for a while, the bug has gone, i can fast-travel again

turning machine off was the only thing that could’ve had an impact there perhaps ?

did not try the return rune

no mods

Good to hear!

If the issue returns, update here please :slight_smile:

Silas

i still crash often, but now it seems it’s more:

first whisper used in the session, then force quit and reload game, and then fine

edit: got into another crash loop. only fixed when i powered off and restarted my PC. restarting steam didn’t work. validating game files didn’t work. steam shows nothing in the log

Alright in that case you can considered this topic escalated as of now.

Hope to see improvement for you in the future in whatever way!

Silas

Btw if you can pin point this some more, that would be very helpful I think for the team.

  • Found any inconsistencies in Whisper per location? Differences between multiple Realms?
  • Anything graphical you can try to influence the crashing rate?

Silas

the only thing i can think of is disable steam overlay and see if i ever get any more crashes

according to the crash log it was some UI thing

when it goes into a crashing loop, all whispers crash the same, all characters, all realms

when it’s just one crash it can be any whisper any character any realm : >

yeah i consistently am only able to clear this bug by restarting the pc. it must be some cache that only gets invalidated with machine restart. game/steam restart isn’t enough

i found a pattern: it’s almost guaranteed to crash (and crash every time thereon until i restart pc) if i click a new whisper i haven’t been to before and then immediately click fast travel before the new whisper registration animation finishes playing
