Hey,
I bought the whole package in the summer sale, and started to enjoy it. But it keeps crashing after ~5-10min. Always. It is the current version, and I thought a lot of fixes where issued with that. Also, after the crash (and even after I stopped the steam process), a process called "WFTOGame.x86_64" runs with about 4GB of memory in use. If start the game again, another process with the same name appears. What can I do to make this game run smoothly without crashing all the time. My stats are:


OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 
Kernel: 4.17.0-2-MANJARO 
DE: KDE 
WM: KWin 
CPU: Intel i5-6600K (4) @ 4.100GHz 
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 
Memory: 15984MiB 


What I tried so far:

Changing the resolution to the lowest and deactivated anti aliasing and the other option to recommended to deactivate. A crash log was not created, but a Player.log


Thanks for the help!

Since upgrading my computer from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, WFTO crashes after some time playing a map. This happened both times I tried : once with a custom map (campaign from DK1) ; once in the HOG campaign.

Player.log

Game is crashing after some minutes

I have a new problem since todays patch 2.0.1

WftO is crashing every few minutes (10 minutes) randomly


I uploded my player.log

The latest patch has fixed this issue, please let us know how it goes for you all.

Out of curiosity, were my assumptions correct that the cause was a geometry shader?

Hey aszlig,


Your debugging work was incredibly helpful in pinning down the cause. An experimental rendering feature "Graphics Jobs" was activated in the project without enough scrutiny. Once we knew that we were causing OpenGLES to crash we were able to determine this much faster. Disabling this rendering pipeline has restored stability on all Linux platforms.

What level was this on StormBeast?


Does the game hold that much memory during play?

This was after about 1 hour of play on the first level of Undergames campaign playing as Kasita.

I'm not sure how much memory the game usually takes up unfortunately, I'll have to check in another game this evening. Still strange that the process would persist after exiting the game though.

I must have a different issue on Linux then, as I am still unable to play. I have disabled the steam overlay. I have checked the integrity of local files. I can go all the way through every menu, but when I finally press "PLAY", it just drops straight back to desktop. Any suggestions?

A log would be good battyman, also please make sure that you're on 2.0.4

Does it crash on any other map? that is likely just an issue with that level

Can confirm that after the small patch that came through today, my issue is no longer present.

Thanks guys and thanks for the great game, and also bringing it to Linux!
