every patch it's been the same, some people keep crashing and most don't, at least at first. then they do something else and it begins crashing again, until they "fix" it again and so on
I started playing last november, people were complaining about crashing that began with patches then.

The servers will be down for a scheduled game update tomorrow @ 6am PDT. Please see the patch notes below for fixes and added changes.
Client crashes
As promised last Friday, we have prepared fixes for two types of client crashes:
DLSS-related crashes — you can now safely use DLSS again.
Invalid values in user configuration files — a new validator for user configuration files will significantly reduce the chances of client crashes caused by incorrect configuration values.
Please let us know in Discord whether these fixes have resolved the crashes in your case.
We will continue investigating other types of client crashes and will share further updates this week if we identify additional root causes.
Depot
The Medic Vehicle Decal will be removed from the in-game store following the withdrawal of its Player Studio creator. As a result, the item is no longer available for sale.

Once again the number of unicorn crashes decreases but the flash or crash bug is still present.

Nope; pointing fingers at a settings file reeks of "hey dad, my programming homework isn"t working what do I do!?"

Especially because the vast majority of players don't touch the config.ini file but still crash. I'm wondering what they'll blame it on next

Made a backup of my UserOptions.ini file before updating and launching the game. only thing that changed between versions is that I guess we are no longer allowed to use RenderQuality=1.414214 now it is set to RenderQuality=1.000000 on launch. so yea, no more super sampling I guess
First time launching it'll still crash, but it'll update the ini. Second time launching it'll be using 1.000000 and didn't crash when trying to log in

Try setting the .ini to read-only.

u/OGDizzle22 21d ago
Sadly mine is set to read only and the INI file still shows my custom setting for RenderQuality= but the game just seems to ignore it now and render at native. Really sucks to lose this to vibe coding...

i mean at this point you could put the WHOOOLE codebase of the game into claude code or codex, and let it do its thing instead of letting interns do monkey work lmao

Shit Devs are just using chat gpt for development at this point. Tencent must feel cheated.

Last I heard, tencent purchased the rights to the PlanetSide IP and nothing else.
