    For clarity, the redistributable install doesn't have anything to do with fixing the crash.

    We believe we have found the "real" culprit and are finishing off the fix.

    I got my fingers crossed that you've located the bug and squashed it proper. I wasn't really able to run raids over the weekend due to the crashing, so it'll be interesting to get back to the grind.

    Thanks for the clarification and i appreciate you're working towards a fix but your previous posts implied the last client patch was too do with the crashing, if that install wasnt to fix the crashing what was it for?

    Was it too fix that other issue present on test where you had to delete a file before launching from going live with the next game update this week?

    If it isnt too sensitive, it would be great to find what it was that was causing the crashes, for a bit more insight.

    Maybe because of the crashes they decided to upgrade with already pre-allocated software/hardware to the game that would have been maybe been installed later if not for the circumstances. It might require the 2017 redistributable software to use it, so whether it worked or not, it directly doesnt have anything to do with patching the crashing issues. Kinda just like going through a checklist to troubleshoot an issue, to find you have outdated drivers or software and give it a shot to see if its the issue at hand.

    They already mentioned this was for future content but the initial notes read like it was a fix for the current crashes.

    Reference #3 (which vaguely mentions that this upgrade is more for future updates): https://forums.daybreakgames.com/dcuo/index.php?threads/pc-client-hotfix-april-24-2019.301765/

    Anyway, hope we get a fix for this soon and another bonus weekend to make up for lost time :D

    It was simply a coincidence that that was ready to go.

    We have a new fix in testing. It is not going to make tomorrow's game update, but we expect to roll it out early next week at the latest.

    Crashed multiple times yesterday in just a few hours of playing. Also, severe lag at times. I'm not sure whether the lag is caused by something on my end, though - I'm monitoring.

    The crashes are still happening, how much longer for an actual fix to this long lasting issue?

    Mepps said "early next week" for the next attempt to squash this bug.

    I made it about 20 minutes before crashing. I swear, it's like DBG doesn't want me to play but instead, do laundry. Or, wipe the baseboards. Anything but play. :D
