Crashing On PC After Junktown Boss

[KevinRyan]

I’ve had the game crash 5 times in total for me thus far.

Once when it tried to initiate the cutscene preceding the Iron Outpost dungeon boss and now 4 times in a row when trying to initiate the cutscene following the Junktown dungeon boss.

The game is unplayable. I cannot continue.

Please please please advise.

I’m sorry to hear that. We’ve had a small number of reports from other people who’ve had crashes when trying to play videos.

Could you private message me a few things (use the upload button in the message):

• In Steam, go to Help->System Information, and copy the information there
• Your logfile after crashing. Should be in:
  c:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Battle Chasers Nightwar\BC_Data\output_log.txt

Until we have a better solution, you can turn off videos using this config file to continue playing:

BC.cfg Options!

Hey, everyone! Andres here with a little tutorial on the BC.cfg file! We have a few config options that have not yet been added to the menus (since there’s a lot of other crucial fixes that are taking priority) but we added a quick way to enable some of these on PC^! Create a text file in the same directory as BC.exe (for Steam users, look for the Battle Chasers install directory - something like C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Battle Chasers Nightwar) [image] Opening this text…

One question: Did the video in the Iron Outpost end up successfully playing eventually?

[KevinRyan]

Hooper,
I rebooted after the first crash and yes, the iron outpost scene played out
fine so I wrote it off as a fluke.

Junktown scene now is another story.

I’ll get you the info you need this afternoon when I’m home. Thanks.

Hey I’ve had this exact same issue. It crashed at iron outpost for me a couple times until I re installed and now it constantly crashes after I defeat the wargolem at the end of junkyard.

BUMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPpppppp

Any progress on a patch? You’re looking into it?

[Hooper]

Yes, we’re definitely looking into it. We’ve updated the version of the video player software we’re using (AVPro Video), and we’re in touch with them to try to diagnose the problem and find a solution.

It’s tricky because it only affects a small set of users, and we don’t yet know what the common factor is.

In the mean time, if you want to play and skip the videos, see my earlier link for how to do that. (I know that’s not a great solution because the videos are awesome and it stinks missing them.)

Sorry!
