[2.0.72] Crash mass firing artillery
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2026 3:24 am
What did you do?
Using a massive 1000 artillery train to clear biters while using a custom binding of "ctrl + scroll up" for "use item" and the G502 logitech mouse that allows the scroll wheel to spin freely. I then paint biters nest good side to side and either going slowly up or down using said command.
What happened?
During the clearing of these nests sometimes the game hard crashes, causing chrome to freeze up, windows file explorer to restart and both my screens to go dark for a few seconds
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expect the game to not crash when using tons of artillery because megabaseing is a large part of the experience
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
I dont recall it happening within the first few reloads of the train, I'd say these last two reloads of the train its happen at least once each reload or within a hour of constant active use of firing artillery
