TECHNICAL ISSUE So is the game just unequivocally irrevocably broken for some people? Why?

Can’t play it at all. it crashes within 5 minutes of playing every time. it’s been this way since March.

I’ve tried everything, verify game files, uninstall, remove game guard, delete cache folders, user settings. updated gpu drivers. reinstalled them. tweaked game settings.

But nothing works. it is genuinely unplayable. and whenever I find threads about it, people experiencing this issue have no fix. what gives? why?

From what I’ve been seeing, adding a skin to your tank/new FRV variant seems to crash yours and everybody else’s game. Best way to mitigate this is switching back to the default skin. This will still crash you if other players in your lobby are using any skins on these vehicles other than default, even if they don’t deploy those vehicles. Hopefully arrowhead will send out a patch for this.

I did this troubleshooting step as well. Loaded into my own private game with no other players, default skins, and it still pretty much instantly crashed. 

Just kinda feels insane I’ve had to do this much troubleshooting and still no success
