29 votes

the Game crashes frequently it can be after 1 hour of Play or at any time it displays an error message saying sorry an error has occurred and close the game and takes You back to Nintendo menu. It was supposed to have an update day but she didn't solve the problem please repair the game

The same. I play on Nintendo switch. Played 60 hours. the game often crashes with massage “The software was closed because an error occurred”. Always freezing, like on potato PC, but was playable. Now, I can’t play, because when I load my save, it crashes after 2 sec after loading. Loading —> 2 sec screen with battlefield—> black screen with error.

Still random freezing and crashes after the patch that was live 3 days ago, maybe a little less frequent.
Currently my save and the autosave both are broken, so my game is unplayable, I hope it would be possible to recover it with next patch.

I am still receiving numerous crashes even after the update. I have a fully updated Switch OLED. The crashes I've experience are:

1.) Rat's Nest in northern Tiltren. If I reload a save made during the battle, the game with crash when amy of my companions attack a rat or nest. Crash occurs right before the animation connects and damage is displayed (crashes mid swing). Repeatable.

2.) Game immediately crashes when, from a battle, I reload a save made earlier in the battle. Repeatable.

3.) Random screen testing on the map. Last occur out of nowhere after giving the infected farmer to the disciples. Doesn't crash the game and it appears I can still (technically) do things, but screen is frozen and tears. Have to force close the game.

4.) Game crashes when having to choose sides in the the Tiltren quest where you have to either side with bandits to save the prisoner or side with the town to execute him. Game crashes when the screen pops up to choose sides. Repeatable.

Crashes constantly and black screen during fights. We should get our money back!

Right now I'm on limited save mode and both my auto save and manual save are in a bad state. This has rendered my playthrough useless as I cannot continue. I am doing a bounty north east of the Ludern Jail. The trappers were fighting boars.

I've been very patient thus far but now I'm stuck. Not sure what the culprit is here

To add as Nintendo switch poster (just posted on different issue, abbot stuck in party), does crash to system sometimes. Probably less after most recent update. Save often. More annoying is about every third battle, the screen blanks out and tears or if it doesn’t, sometimes the camera gets stuck fidgeting when trying to select a character. To everyone else, you can save when this happens. Hit pause, down three times, A, the glitching will freeze for a second while the save menu loads (which lets you know it’s working). When it starts tearing or glitching again, hit A twice. It will momentarily freeze again. When the glitching resumes your game has been saved. Wait another five minutes to load after going back to home and closing and reopening. I really want to love this game but it’s unplayable; should have trusted the reviews (switch specific).

I tried playing again with the new patch on Switch.
I had several crashes in battles that last more than one turn - the game crashes After ending a round, when the next round is about to start.
It was in battles with numerous opponents (18 and more) in the great Grosenberg.

I’m experiencing exactly what Yaroslav described. For all of my save files, a few seconds after loading, the games crashes stating “an issue caused the software to close”.

I am able to start a new game and save/load the new game.
