I tied it and new patch new event, but the game still crashes. I am certainly not happy about Gaijin priorities.
Yup, getting many crashes every time I play the game. It isn't my PC as this has only been happening since New Power and I have an Rx 580, Ryzen 5 1600x and 16gb of ram. Every other game I play runs perfectly. I'm getting tired of the dev's ignorance of the situation.
Stop complaining about game crashing, maybe you have too less RAM to launch it. With every update the minimal requirements are changing so if you could launch it in previous update that doesn't mean that you can do this it in next update. I have 4gb of ram, Radeon 570 and the game doesn't crash.
All answers (8)Jakub280, I have 16GB of RAM and a Radeon 590, and earlier today I had a game (Air RB in the Meteor G.41K) crash *four times*. The two games before that were both cut short by server crashes (which, incidentally, _cause a crew lock_, because screw players I guess). This update was a total QA fail and Gaijin should be ashamed.
Great update, with needed aditions. sadly, no type 10, but ill wait to the next update. happy holidays to all war thunder players and devs!
Merry Christmas :)
All answers (6)Stona_WT, Weak update! very few vehicles in a year-end update, depressing!
also, the city map for EC is by far the best change for this update. now, small begginer helis with guns only stand a chance in close quarters against the big dogs.
netanelyat, the bombers will have fun tho the thicc bois
alright cool! new patch... and we all know what that means, MORE BUGS! The A4 quite literally crashes the game, one game in the harrier three game crashes, two frags but hey not cool. do we know if there will be any updates or patches for this bug?
Yea. And 40 gigabyte in pc (I haven't developed heli and navy...) for an unplayable game, if you use bombers, because gaijin don't change the MM.
Great but air RB is unplayable. the game crashes for everyone every 3min... 8 years of developements. noice !
Man, holidays are about tradition...like Gaijin's tradition of releasing more bugs and garbage with each update. Enjoy.
Me too, crashes constantly.
Very happy about the surprise ZSU-37-2, wanted (and needed) it for ages. Also how can you add the A7 Corsair but not muh F8 Crusaders? :(
also sabra mk.2?
Italian heli tree is absolutely tragic, new worst heli in game, followed by overtiered garbage, followed by something only slightly better than the premium because it has a 20mm and AAMs, except you sacrifice half your missile loadout if you want to bring only 2.
overtiered? the CBT is basically a tiger HAD at 9.7, and the a109 is fine at 9.3 with gret flight performance, thermals and IRCM. the huey is indeed trash but the other 2 are quite good.
All answers (2)netanelyat, I didn't call the c*** and ball torture overiered, I called the A109 overtiered. CBT is fine, It's just not much better than premium. Compared to other 9.3s the A109 has less, and worse missiles and terrible turning/ability to get its few rockets on target (if you're very realistically grinding from stock). The climb/thrust is good tho
an example is the G91 YS without a radar at now, even though they are using the aircraft design with the radar on it.
8.7GB on the start of the event?? Pretty much making me skip the first day. Patch release and event start on the same day is terrible for people with bad internet like me.
tips download the dev server. when the game update it copy files from the dev server, making update way smaller i had a 3.4 gb update
Oshida_BCfreedom, Thanks! I will do that next time!
The download the dev server in the previous days so you won't have to download the full patch...
