Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Regular crashes on Switch since order&magic update

The patch was submitted yesterday, so should be approved within 5 business days. We requested an expedited approval process, but an exception doesn't appear likely.

Praise be, can't wait for that to hit. Thanks for keeping us filled in on what's going on

Likewise I really appreciate these updates, and all the time sensitive work that's required to get my new favorite game back on track!

Thanks for fix and status updates

Hello all! The patch is now live.

Yes! Thanks for making it happen. Impressed with the response here. Looking forward to getting back into the game.

Thanks! I haven’t had any problems since updating and the framerate in large battles seems better too.

I've just downloaded the patch, and I'm HAPPY to report that the game seems to have stopped crashing during the saving process!! I haven't been able to continue playing until now (one month has passed since I ran into serious crashing issues), and it feels GREAT to be able to play Divinity: Original Sin 2 again on my Nintendo Switch!! Also, I've noticed that overall performance of the game has increased by around ~15% with this patch.

Thanks to Larian's awesome dev team who were able to address these issues so quickly! Also special thanks to Raze for being such an awesome communicator for the entire team and all players! Man, somebody get this guy a succubus! ;D

Hey guys ! I wanted to tell that we dont have crash anymore thanks to the patch!
What a relief!

Thanks Raze for the updates during that issue!

Regards,

Furyan

Patch seems to have fixed the crashes! Also the game seems like it's running smoother now in general? Not sure but it *seems* better

I have no more crashes with this fix. Thank you !!
I am very interested in the technical part of what was the problem. Could you give a little inside information on what exactly caused the crash?

I have time to test patch yesterday and I don't have crash any more.

The crashing was due to a GPU memory buffer issue. It was hard to reproduce due to slight differences with development hardware (we can test with retail hardware, but there is not really any way to get any debug into then).

Hello,

I wanted to express my thanks to those at the studio for working to patch this issue. While the main issue of crashes has been resolved, I have noticed another minor issue that has emerged with this patch. One thing I have noticed during playthroughs is how certain visual effects like fire, smoke,the new erratic entities and etc, have a tendency to "flicker" on and off which can either be distracting or make it difficult to tell at a glance if someone is being affected by status conditions or not.
I wanted to inform those at the studio that this has been a minor issue I've been experiencing since the patch and am hoping will to some degree be resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.

Try clearing the system cache, if you have not done so since the hotfix: in the Home menu open System Settings, then select System, Formatting Options, Clear Cache and then the current user.
Note that this will also reset the system language and brightness setting.

I'll check with the Switch programmers if this is a known issue (haven't seen it reported before).

The next update should include changes to some textures, and a change in how they are compressed (new version of a Nintendo SDK).

this is getting beyond a joke.

After playing exactly one hour I crashed. (switch)

It happens every hour on the dot.
I am getting p****d with it.

playing on pc doesn't crash at all....

something needs to be done because I am unable to finish reapers Coast

Fort joy 0 crashes.
reaper over the top crashes. If I had the game card wouldn't be an issue but because it was only release as limited we have to put up with the bs crashing.

It happens every Hour on the hour.



I was about to help the little boy's mum on the bridge but... CRASH! stopped that.

I am getting to the stage where I won't be playing it because this is getting beyond a joke.

I have even cleared the cache but doesn't help.
fresh install doesn't help.

trying moving game from sd card to the console itself.
(don't have high hopes for this either)
nope still crashed...

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear this. I had a frequently crashing problem on the Switch that was solved by redownloading the game -- but it sounds like that didn't solve it for you.

Do you get an error code with the crash?

Have you tried playing with your Switch in airplane mode? At least that could eliminate network access.

And have you emailed supportdos2@larian.com with this?

The regularity of the crashes on the Switch has made this game unplayable. Early in the game a crazy was very rare, but since getting to Arx, the game crashes very often. It crashes most of the time during a quick save. So before that quick save is able to finish, the game crashes. I lose quite a bit of progress.....and saving the game has become the most nerve wracking part vs the tough battles. Any fix on the way?
