Crash and projectile glitches in Raids after Grand Prix update

[toughNOOB]

Hello everyone. I am here to show what me and several players who plays raids have been experiencing since the last update.
I have recorded several (6) videos and posted unlisted on YouTube, with detailed descriptions and timestamps on each one, listing everything i could find.

THE FIRST VIDEO HAS THE LINK FOR ALL OTHER 5 VIDEOS. All videos have links for each other videos.
Since i am “new to this forum” i cant post more than 2 links. Yeah, i play this game for 8 years. So there’s that.

The gliches start after a few minutes into raids.
Projectiles start acting funny, disappearing, getting stuck in the air, sticking to surfaces.
Physics start getting weird. Enemy cars bounce and clip on the terrain, their pieces disappear.
After a few more minutes after the glitches start, the game crashes to desktop.
It seems that the time it does crash, and if depends on the lenght of the game and volume of projectiles.

IMPORTANT:
The game was working just fine before the update.
This all started happening after the Grand Prix update.
Many users in general chat also report the exact same issue.
There is a reddit post with the same issue here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Crossout/comments/1i86o7p/anyone_else_having_crashing_issues_after_the/
Random people i played with also confirmed having those issues.
Both my friends whom i play raids with in a daily basis also have this issue.
Moreover, they crash at the exact same time as me. We live in separate states and use different ISPs.

This happens around 75% of the time. Every 4 matches, 3 will glitch and crash.
Sometimes the glitch happens close to the end of the and it doesn’t crash, but it’s very random/lucky.
The same thing happen whilst playing on any server: US, EU and RU.
This happens on any raid type and any map.

PS.
Please do not be offended by the following:
With all due respect, i build computers for a living, and i know what i am doing.
My system is modern, powerful, properly maintained and updated.
I do not need nor want tech tips/assistance with my computer/windows/game settings.
I am reporting a glitch that MANY people are having. I am doing a service for the community.
I already spent days troubleshooting my system with the best of my knowledge.
I did a full uninstall, folder, settings of crossout then did a fresh install.
I even built a virtual machine with only crossout installed, and the glitch happened there.
I play several other games with no issues at all. BF2042, Diablo 4, Starcraft 2, Escape Tarkov, Division 2, to name a few.
I wasted an afternoon of my time after several frustated gaming sessions with my friends because of this glitch, i feel very upset, and i will not appreciate jokes, trolling, sarcasm, provocation, etc.
Therefore, for those reasons, i might completely ignore such replies. Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestion! Yes, this might help solve it. I have filed it, sent the logs of all the games in the videos. Thanks again.

UPDATE: I managed to finish 3 electronic frontier defense vs lunatics and firestarters. It seems my theory about too many projectiles shot was on point.

TLDR; Use slow firing weapons. Like cannons. Try to use guns that fire the least projectiles possible.

Raids are still crashing with the projectile bug running amok. BUT i had a theory based on my videos that its related to the number of projectiles fired, so today i tried playing with my Tsunami-Hadron-King-Cyclops build and managed to successfully complete 3 Frontier Defense raids, all on Crater map, the first two vs lunatics and the last vs firestarters. All electronic raids. In most of my raids i had a single random ally. I got three allies on the last raid.

BUT as soon as i tried it with triple cyclone, BOOM glitch and crash.

FINALLY got some farm after DAYS of throwing fuel away.

Anyho, why the heck should we pay resources to play PvE? Crashes and disconnects, not just the recent ones, would be way less annoying if there weren’t that stupid mobile game crap of spending resources to play. I know you can get 15 fuel per win+survive in PvP, but that’s beside the point.

I would be totally fine with them rolling these last two updates back, even though I do like some of the changes. The bullet update looks like a mistake to me. If they aren’t planning on selling premium ammo (which would be awful), it seems very nonsensical and counter to the “optimization” they said they were implementing to do things this way just to nerf hit-scan weapons.

i really like the physics based bullets VS hitscan guns. Although its more realistic and cool, i might affect server performance a bit, because there are many new calculations to make. But translating that to netcode, it’s just plain text, not that big of an issue.

BUT, there are guns with no changed projectiles behavior like the autocannons, they were that before the hitscan/ammunition changes. In my opinion, the hitscan change might not be the issue, because we already had many guns with similar function and no such bugs. I would put that change to blame if only the former hitscan guns were affected, but that’s not the case.

There is something very wrong with crossout servers recently. Classic PvP matches are now 6v6 instead of 8v8, Next Step is 5v5 instead of 6v6. Maybe that is to reduce matchmaking time and Power Score disparity, but it could also mean that the servers are below default capacity.

On a side note, hope there is no premium ammo like SOME other games. Awful indeed. That would really make a lot of people quit the game for good. PLZ GOD NO.
