[PC] (Repeatable) Game crashes when fighting Garron boss in Wayrest Sewers II dungeon

Kharnamantic · November 2020

It affected 3/4 of our random dungeon finder party (we all crashed at the same time while fighting the boss), so don't tell us it's a graphics card driver issue, PC issue on our end, or any fluff like that. It's a game issue.

It seems to happen when the boss fires off a lot of ground aoe. The problem is repeatable - we all logged back after crashing to fight the boss, but it'd keep crashing. I gave up after the 5th time.

Can you test some fights in calurrion fang lair boss? Its the same type of this boss and is crashing almost 100% at time since markarth patch.

Can confirm my group had this same issue in Wayrest Sewers II last night. Crashed multiple times on the boss. Ended up abandoning the attempt.

PC/EU

I have reported this issue previously, it has happened to me on three different occasions with two different accounts and three different characters. The third time one other player also crashed at the same time.

All lich bosses are broken right now. Caluurion was crashing my teammates on Xbox NA to the point where we couldn't get past him.

Same problem with lich boss in Fang Lair yesterday evening (PC-EU, normal random dungeon).
1st try: Boss AoE crashes 3 of 4 players a few seconds into the fight
2nd try: All 4 crash almost immediately after start of the fight
3rd try: 2 crash almost immediately; fortunately, the other 2 can continue and beat the boss. After that, the rest of the dungeon runs smoothly.

It is affecting the Cloudrest trial as well - Siroria fight.

I'll insert here the same hint I've put also in the Caluurion thread.

Apparently ZOS is aware of the issue and working on a fix.

This did not get fixed with the 11/23 patch. Entire group disconnected twice instantly.

Had left game last week due to 5+ crashes in brp and new arena.

Came back last night, I heard they fixed the crashes.

I did Wayrest 2 as a random....... crashed. Bye e$o

Same issue in any fight with AoEs...Also for overland fights...

Game froze on the first trash pack of vEH1 last night. Can confirm there were a lot of AoE and particle effects on the screen as I had to look at them until I hit Alt‐F4.
