UPDATE [Console] Certain Dungeons/Trials Temporarily Disabled

nitocris83

Update 5:12pm
Tiamat and Demo have also been temporarily turned off while we investigate.

*****


We have temporarily disabled Fangbreaker Isle and Lair of the Mad Mage on Xbox and PlayStation while we investigate crashing issues potentially related to Frost Giants. Please let us know if you experience crashes with Frost Giants outside those dungeons - any additional information will help with the investigation.

Thank you for your patience and we hope to have this resolved quickly.

Many dungeons and trials are getting caught in a Blue Screen loop. The entire group blue screens, reloads and as soon as you get back in, it blue screens again. It's a fight just to be able to abandon the instance. Has occurred in (but probably not exclusive to):

Temple of Tiamat
Fangbreaker Island
Lair of the Mad Mage

I'm hearing reports from across the alliance of this happening. Could this be related to the xBox issues.

As I'm sure you are aware, this is exceedingly frustrating for a lot of players

(apologies, I should have put this in Bug Reports, but I'm a fool)

This just happened to me too, and I saw at least someone else in Zone/public say it. I was on Random Epic Queue - Lair of the Mad Mage.

Got blue screened about a minute into the dungeon, then twice I tried to get back in and blue screened each time when it loaded LOMM. I had to log in on a different char and I guess that kicked me from the instance automatically.

It would be nice to get feedback on this.

this is the way my lion looks after the rework. Not sure if this is a bug or as intended

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this issue!

After this announce, QA team was also able to reproduce it with Tiamat (white head is causing the crash)

Dev team is actively working to fix it as soon as possible

Update: does this bug only affects the mounts tab, or when the mount is summoned too please? Thanks in advance!

muzza799

When the mount is summoned too.

percemer

Thank you again for your help @muzza799#3349! QA team experiences some difficulties to reproduce this issue, but we hope being able to fix it as soon as possible.

Entire party blue screened roughly 6 minutes into Trial. Blue screened 3 times in a row. This needs to be addressed ASAP.

Downloaded the combat changes yesterday on PS4. My main got stuck in the stronghold. I went in, it blue screened and then every attempt thereafter to reload my main just blue screened. I swapped to an alt and did a random epic trial. Got demogorgon and it blue screened twice for me during the trial (although we did complete and get the rewards). I called out in zone chat and got a reply that other people were also experiencing crashes. I swapped to a different alt and did a random epic dungeon. Got fangbreaker and we had a complete party blue screen early on. When I restarted and got back in, the rest of the party were still out, but one by one managed to rejoin. At that point I'd had enough and went and played a different game.

Blue screened four times in less than 2 minutes fighting Fentaza in Fane.

Congrats, Arc-- you've managed to put out *the worst* "update" I've ever seen in a game.

After the update. I am doing the quest "defeat runechanged trolls" in The Sea Of Moving Ice. As soon as the frost giants trigger/aggro the game quits out to xbox home page. This has happened 4 times now as i tried to see if anything else was triggering the giants(like just being on screen without aggro etc), but it's as soon as they get aggro it happened straight away, Exact location of these front giants is 4623, -91.

I did install the 5gb update before the update was delayed so maybe it's the first update that was bugged, so if i need to i will uninstall and reinstall the game. for now i can work around these giants. I have more to do on this map so i will update if i run into any other issues

Well well well just had my cherry popped aswell. Did my daily guild influence run in our stronghold and got a bluescreen during a heroic encounter. This is bad. Never happened before best believe!

Edit: Two bluescreens today (February 8, Monday) during heroic encounters in Lonelywood.

uninstalled the game, reinstalled , this is still happening. This time on the frost giants ships.

Game crashes back to xbox screen while doing runestead. My character is stuck in there because it won't load. Trying to wait for instance to close to see if my character is freed before submitting a ticket.

Update waited 15 min for runestead to collapse and it freed my character

My account is new, so I cannot post, but the same sort of situation is occurring to me in the Howling Maw instance on Spinward Rise. The instant any Death Slaad uses their poison cloud attack, the game crashes out. This effectively softlocks me from progressing in the quest.

Assassin Rogue 80
Elemental Evil Campaign - Feeding The Slaadi
Howling Maw, Spinward Rise

1. Approach any Death Slaad
2. Wait for Cloud Attack
3. Instantly on cast game crashes out

I've been able to reproduce this about five times now. I'm running the Series X, so I doubt it's on my end. Also, think it is isolated to the attack as I've stood still with no other enemies and it still crashes.

For now, I'll leave and try again later. Once my new account probation is up, I'll create a new thread.

Greetings,

We identified an issue with frost giants, this is why the dev team disabled some dungeons and Tiamat (white head). They are actively working to fix this crash issue as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience!

If it helps my friends on PS5 have this bug but not those on PS4, I assume your QA team has a PS5 to replicate the issue?

nibs

Thanks for the update.

Like to add Shadar-kai Witches of Vellosk also crash the game during their Daze attack

Have noticed a lot of textures failing to load whilst playing on PS5. Mounts, Armor, CODG, Svardborg.

It looks like Neverwinter Lego Duplo edition for me sometimes....

muzza799

im on ps4 not ps5. i've also noticed its not a constant thing. i was playing yesterday and everything seemed back to normal but then 20 mins later my mounts were back to the above state.

Hi.
As the title reads, some textures just never load in, not even after standing in the same spot for 5min+. This started after the combat changes patch and i have never seen this issue before that.

this is an issue on ps4 too. just did msva and it was off all the way through. the floor and the manticores were most noticable. Port Nyanzaru is off too.

muzza799

I've experienced some of the crashes in dungeons but there seems to be a few going on at the stronghold too. Killing random mobs can cause a blue screen and attacking green dragon at dragonflight.

jn1245

Ah ok, none of the people in my chat that was on ps4 had the same issue, so i thought it was a ps5 thing.

Bug report after Feb 4 maintenance:

The game keeps crashing whenever I encounter and engage (or be engaged) by a Soul Slaver mob. It seems to be limited to this mob (or an attack animation of this mob). I get booted and a get blue screen error. Upon relogging, I usually find myself killed with the post-death menu appearing as a starter screen.

I encounter this problem in Ebon Downs, both outside and inside crypts.

As a consequence, the quests “The Soul Slavers” and “The Drowned King” cannot be completed, breaking the subsequent quest lines in Ebon Downs. Hence, you cannot comoplete Ebon Downs and, furthermore, you cannot advance in the Cult of the dragon campaign.
