Game Crash: Harg'kyth's

[Commanderkeen]

Game crashes every time when I'm in the middle of fighting Harg'kyth. This did not start till the update that happen at 7:00 pm EST today.

HTC EVO 3D 4G 4.0.3 ICS

[Commanderkeen]

Latest update has seem to fix the problem, thanks.

[Qingsanale1st]

uhhh.... no, sorry, I am still getting it... :/

[Qingsanale1st]

Please a dev look into harg'kyth crashing, please?

[Lady_Pebbles]

Its been reported but yeah needs a major fix. X.x

[Commanderkeen]

Well I got a Nexus 7 this weekend and the bug has appeared on this device to. Still no problems on my HTC EVO 3D 4G.

Device: ASUS Nexus 7 Android 4.1.1 jelly bean

[Qingsanale1st]

Its been reported but yeah needs a major fix. X.x



Indeed it does.

[Phoenician1]

Not seeing it over in PL, haven't tried SL.

[Qingsanale1st]

Not seeing it over in PL, haven't tried SL.

I think it's ONLY the End Boss in this DL cap

[disowninglook]

The game crashed just now while fighting him. It's real people.

[PhryGuy]

It's happened several times for me. Not fun

[aibaintedoz]

still crashing.. . T.T

[Qingsanale1st]

yep, even as the boss rewards are dropping, this must be fixed!
why didn't you fix this before the xp number??? So uncomfortable, i am!

[FallenOne]

My game crashed 6 times over the last 100 games on that last level.
Whats worse is I think there was a game when there was a relic weapon drop which i failed to get for around 1000 game.
I think i just missed my chance that time so please fix this issue.

[Qingsanale1st]

Tautology.

[Rare]

I would think that one is much harder to find/fix than the other.

I am very familiar with trying to find/fix intermittent bugs that don't make any sense.

[XchilangopwnX]

Yeah, fixing bugs takes a long time. Especially working off straight code rather than a game creator. Give them time. Imagine having about 100 pages of code for one run in a dungeon and having to check 1 Million plus characters of code to see which is the one that is giving players trouble and forcing the game close.

It is probably more or less difficult than the the example I gave you above. :vsmile: Instead of bashing on the Devs let's hope for the best and that they find the solution soon. :vD:

[FallenOne]

Im tired of doing that dungeon already. I don't get my relic and my game crashes every 1/5 games.

[Kellee]

I have had it happen on both my phone,HTC EVO 4G lte, and on chrome

[Deirdre Ann Tendell-Kirk]

:cower: yes sometimes freezes, sometimes game crashes , and sometimes one of those moths keeps reappearing every time the level loads up but I can live with a frozen moth hanging in mid air, kind of cute:fox:
Sometimes by the time I have got into level the exit griff is there and no drops:disturbed:

[YuNoEatBeaRs]

was hoping the patch would fix it, just froze now :/

[Carapace]

We're still looking into this particular problem.

As an update we had QA running through the fight for a good 2 hours or so on multiple devices in different circumstances. In most cases there was no crash, even streaming spotify and leaving a lot of apps running in the background. The patch had some optimized effects in it however, which will reduce the strain in the fight on the processor and help some.

Players still experiencing the problem are encouraged to respond with any additional information they wish to share, such as what apps they have running the background. It may help point at a specific 3rd party application or other unifying reason that this crash is happening. It may not yield anything, but you never know.

Thanks for your patience on this guys :vsmile:

[Akaee]

Still crash many times mostly when the shield Goes up on the boss or many fire effects. I play mostly on ipad2 btw. Sometimes i see the drops fly in THE air and poof im off also. Hate t think how many relic i might have missed this way...

[KillaSkillz]

I ran that map 200+ times yesterday with no issues. This morning I got force closed on 3 times out of 10 runs on that map.

I don't think you missed more than one relic if at all, in the 200+ runs yesterday nobody in my groups got a drop above a pink.
Relics seem to be really rare.

The force close is a major issue. It feels like we miss/lose a chance at the relic. Plus I hate wasing time and bloodpacks to windup closing out middle-mid end battle.

Happens on my galaxys 4.1.1 and my g slate.

[Nenda]

It freezes for me . Both Android and Chrome .

[FallenOne]

:( still crashes.

[Nenda]

Hargkyth Domain just freeze again on Google Chrome .

[Iaceden]

Just crashed in 3 out of 5 runs. Using Droid razor...also crashed about 10 times in 3 hours last night on ipad 2 with no apps running in the background.

[Commanderkeen]

Here's a screenie of what's usually running in the background while I play DL on Nexus 7 4.1.1 jelly bean.

[Orahazise]

Add me to the list of people having this problem. I have also run into others in the game who only experience the crash on this level. I fear I could have gotten the Obsidian Lord achievement a couple times had not crashed. That being said, I understand it is a very difficult thing to pin point and I will do my best to pay attention to when I crash and what is running. If it helps for now I am on an iPad 2 with wifi connection.

You should try using the "disable" option under "manage applications" for apps which you do not want running in the background it does help abit with the freezing problem.

Also, this particular problem also occurred on the GNote II(Sry sts device only for reviewers/devs now).
And S III(forced to run on only two cores max all the time- Int. Version with four cores.)


GNote II(Unreleased to the public):
Apps running in the background :
Facebook
Google Music
Android System(duh)
Google Services Framework
Pandora

Gs III:
Apps running in the background:
Android System
Google services framework
Go Launcher EX
Slacker Radio
Tunein radio pro(cached)

Still crashing alot on iPad 2. Any news on this devs?

[Aaroniero Arruruerie]

it's still crashing on a Samsung Galaxy S3

[Eclisse]

Can't end any game..still crashing on IPad

[YuNoEatBeaRs]

Still crashing on chrome... any news cara?

[Iaceden]

Still crashes alot on iPad 2. Any news devs?

[Snakespeare]

Crashed twice (out of 30-ish runs) during Harg'kyth on my iPad3 (new iPad) over the weekend. Sorry no more info, just want to let you know it happens on iOS, too.

[Iron Hand]

I have a htc myTouch slide 4g t-mobile service provider. crashed 5 times 3 of them were right after we killed the boss in multiplayer also noticed that at least 2 of the drops where relics. Also i have noticed in solo play does not crash only in multiplayer has this happened to me. Only system apps running in background as i always manually close all apps i can in background. I have also been in multiplayer games were we are close to or right as drops come down people suddenly vanish from game so i assume same thing happens to them. Seems may be linked to the relic drops.

Same here!!! I've been kicked out of the system and I've seen people leave I assume the same thing Iron. Also you are right it might have to do something with the loot of Relics, I saw one dropped to another player and I was kicked out of the game. Also it's all multiplayer games, not solo runs.

iPhone 4S

[aralalulith]

Don't think it has anything to do with the drops. Got a crash when the boss has 80% of his health left.
I had a feeling, that moving around while hitting / spamming skills are likely to crash.

Tried with chrome. High chances to get frozen if panning the camera around during fight. (right click on mouse and moving around)

[SexyIsland]

Wow, that just happen to me last night. I guess it happens with everything. Also while I was using a combination of powers, I got kicked out of entire system. It's so weird.

[Qingsanale1st]

i think it's also affected by the global connection, cos i'm thinking you devs/qa team are using one same state/province's connection... might not be 100% it, but seems like some sign...

espescially since it's a global connection.... hmmmm

[Qingsanale1st]

this crash and how ppl skip objects in event maps needs to be addressed, I really would Prefer to have a private option where I can Invite my own people i friended/guilded

[PhryGuy]

God, I hate this

[Ghosti]

Out of 30 runs I was d/cd 7 times -_-

[Commanderkeen]

Really still not fixed. I would like to play DL every once in awhile.

Just reading this now, I always make sure I close all other apps before playing DL, because I already have high ping all the time, and it still happens, so no other apps, unless there are background apps running I dont see.

[oaseiasi]

Not cool almost every time I'm fighting hargkyth game crashes and I have noticed I'm definitely not the only one a lot of people I'm grouped with have the same problem

[Kraoracha]

Last few days only making 5 runs or so a day it didnt happen.
Could it be that something of the previous run keeps stuck in memory not working with the current run, and then forcing the closedown?

[Authour]

yes, this is a pain in the butt. I it almost at a point of gambling for me now, "will it work or freeze and take me back to devices home screen?" but it can't be their daily, it does take time to find and fix bugs. I just hope it will get fixed soon, though.

[Kraoracha]

Had it 1 time yesterday out of 10 runs.

[Lady_Pebbles]

Out of about ten runs I get DCed 3 times. Does get annoying, especially when you think its gonna be ok,WHAM app FCs. Smh.

[oaseiasi]

I just got my laptop fixed and I've been playing on my phone before but same problem on chrome is this problem gonna be fixed anytime soon? This is the only zone i ever crashed and alot, its not making this game fun anymore :(... I just crashed twice in a row right after i downed hargkyth in about 5 seconds each didnt get loot maybe i downed him to quick? xD

[oaseiasi]

It keeps happening but it seems to be an aggro issue if I manage to keep aggro which I usually do then the other people crash (This happens quite frequently) and sometimes they don't and sometimes I still crash but the second the boss dies (This happens alot too) so i see loot but cant get, it freezes and I have to refresh browser to play again. This is the only zone I've ever crashed so somethings wrong with the zone itself.

[Kraoracha]

I crashed only my first run, then after that it went fine for the next 5 I did yesterday.

[Lady_Pebbles]

Can't believe they still aint fix this... Smh. Step away from AL for a while devs and work on both DL & SL please!

[Phreakazoid]

My Galaxy S 3 crashes about halfway through the battle. Also why is it that there is always someone in the room that just has to break the defense stone as soin as we start. I thought he didn't drop relics if you did that?

Its a myth. I've gotten an obsidian crystal to drop while one or all of his crystals are broken.. So don't believe the hype! X)

[Kraoracha]

Yep, it is not true, had all broken too and got 3 obsidians so far.
It is just a small percentage chance..

[canislupis081376]

I've run Harg probably 100-150 times now...can say I've frozen about...lemme think...7-10 of those times. It's a pity, tbh. Another option, off-topic, that I would absolutely love to see, is the capability to "group" with people instead of constantly "inviting" and whatnot. There's my $.02 :)

[maliciousness]

Almost every run it crashes, Please do something about it, Makes leveling a pain in the butt.

[Kraoracha]

I havent had a crash in the dungeon since the server update that also made my ping get a bit better.
Could be luck though, because untill I said I never had it I never had the problem, then right after I posted that it started, lol.

[sillybrutalhippie]

It id hapening again. Repeatedly.

[Fyree]

Yep, happening to me too. I'd say 4/10 times it occurs. Game freezes and crashes mid-battle or seconds after entering the map. :/

[Kraoracha]

I still did not crash after the last server update. Guess I am lucky.
And I have to say I only did about 20 runs since then, more trying the Kriegsberg one atm.

[HallowJack]

on average, it force closes 5 outta 20 times during the harg encounter.

[vaenikrit]

Exact moment of crash. Don't know if it helps or not, but thought it was worth posting.

It helps to see that the crashing sucks.

[vaenikrit]

Using ios 6. Just jumped into a game.
Crashed 2 seconds in. Harg was already at least half dead.
Wasn't running any other apps.

I know you guys are buried in complaints and whatnot,
but that just goes to show how much of an excellent game yall have created.
I had almost lost my interest in games before jumping into this one.
Hoping for the best.

[Snakespeare]

I've had it crash here recently too. It's obviously still an open bug.
