Burning sheepfold breaking rendering

4 - Reproduce? Yes

7 - "Burning Sheepfold test.dat" (How can I upload this?)
Game went blackscreen just after I uncapped an AI Goat clan's tile. Oddly, entering Escape Menu renders a single frame. Units still have audio but movement commands do not go through. My Eagle clan hawks' audio starts going nuts as well.
More interesting: I waited to see if winter ending would fix it but something else happened. Once the buildings on the AI's tile were destroyed from burning the game started rendering again. My movement commands from earlier went through, too. So I attacked the Goat AI's town hall and rendering broke again. Waiting out the burning fixed rendering this time, too. More interesting: their Altar of Kings was still alive when rendering came back. Leading me to think specific a building's burning animation that's doing it.
Following that, I reloaded and attacked a tile with a sheepfold and the bug happened again.

jsb16 MergedThe game froze when I took out an AI territory close to its Town Hall. When I reloaded from the auto-save or a manual save file, I got a second (or third) wyvern. The freeze seemed to happen when Hildegard was about to do something. I have additional images if those would be helpful.

Daniel MergedThe game froze during a co-op conquest after the recent update (Aug 24th, 2023)
1. Conquest (co-op)
2. Windows 10
3. DirectX
4. No.
5. Screen was frozen, no animations or menu's could be opened. CPU for the game was approximately 7% from task manager. Had to kill the process from there. -

Artiom Merged1) Mode: Conquest. Snake
2) OS: Win 10
3) OpenGL and DirectX: Both modes
4) The bug appears in the mission where you have to guard a wyvern egg after hatching. When trying to capture the area of the enemy battle sounds are heard, the game continues, but the video freezes. Tried to restart the mission, the problem remained and on a different map. And during the freeze you can press ESC and go to the menu. Tried during the freeze to save and load a save. After the first attempt to load the wyverns became two, after the second attempt they became three. After capturing an area, the video starts working again after about 5 minutes of idle time, but until the next attempt to capture the area. And it is interesting that the bug occurs with 100% probability only if I attack the Goat. Attacking other clans such a bug appeared only 1 time out of several dozen attempts.
5) Seed doesn't play a role. The bug appears on different maps. last seed 998415368 -

JC MergedConquest solo, Lion clan, Swap of Death, around the 40 min mark - the game froze up visually, but the game sounds were still going. When I hit Esc, the visual updates to the current time but stays frozen when I unpause (sounds keep going though). I tried reloading the save file, and after the loading screen, the screen goes black and stays black, until I hit Esc when it shows the visual but stays frozen when unpaused until I pause again. I've tried exiting and relaunching Northgard and the same error occurs.
I tried loading the autosave file (36 min) and this time the bug started around the 45 min mark. I plan on just playing the other mission, but wanted to report the bug in case others also had this happen. -

KWill MergedAfter a certain amount of time after playing, the game hits 0 frames per second. No visual updates whatsoever. The game screen is frozen until you hit ESC and get the pause menu, when it updates to what you should be seeing, but paused. Leaving the menu leaves the screen frozen again.
1 - Conquest as Kernev, first mission (vs. Rat and Goat)
2 - Windows
3 - DirectX
4 - Happens without fail in my save around August in 805.
5 - Can't take screenshots. Pressing the button does nothing until you hit ESC, then it triggers, giving a screenshot of the menu.
6 - Medium 180485494
7 - Have an autosave from before the problem occurred and a regular save from after. -

Ryan MergedReceiving a frozen screen and game still playing while player is frozen, when a territory's with sheepfold is taken from the Goat clan. This fixes itself after the Sheepfold gets destroyed.

Anomaly MergedThe same conquest froze 2 nights in a row. Units run in place for co-op player 2. All the server actions continue (i.e. pause and sound queues). My co-op partner (host) still had some server actions such as pause and unpause but units were completely frozen.

Dave MergedMy screen freezes, however, I can still hear audio as normal and when I hit escape, the screen shows a different part of the map as though I was scrolling. I have encountered this bug before after updates and have never found a fix, but I really, really do not want to abandon this game. I'm playing a custom game on a huge map, as far as I can tell the trigger is when Goat gets destroyed, however the notification does not pop all the way.
Users on Reddit have encountered this bug too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Northgard/comments/160vfc3/gamebreaking_bug_since_kernev_update/
1. Custom
2. Windows 10
3. DirectX, then Open GL
4. No matter what I do, the bug triggers when Goat is destroyed and the notification only partly pops. There is an earthquake even happening prior.

Tom MergedThe game works fine, and at some point the display freezes.
Solo mode, DirectX, Win10, reproduced at least 5 times on 2 seperate games.
Note: Only the visuals are affected, while in the background the audio is fine and I can even move units around (not see them move, but I can hear the audio of fights and so), resources keep accumilating, game time passes and seasonal dings and alerts keep coming in.
This started a few days ago (not sure if it was August 24 or 25) and did not happen before.
It resets (updates the visuals) and immediatly freeze again if I go to the save menu and come back to the game.
If I load the same game to the last autosave (or anothe save file) and keep playing it works fine to about the same game point (not sure if it is a time issue or progress related - may be related to finishing an "alter of kings").
I don't see a place to upload a save file, contact me if you have a need for it.
Please help, I want the game back :) -

ipfreely4ever MergedSaw multiple bug reports none answered on how to fix it... probably because people that reported it just wrote a bug reply and never ever checked back in the thread. Well I will.
1. Conquest - Stout Solo Easy
2. Windows 11 64x
3. Alwasy run it in DirectX, also tried the OpenGL thing but same error.
4. Its not on just this save it happened before but I ignored it thinking "heck, shit out of luck must have a corrupt save file or something" But now it happened again and that after 2h session and I AM PISSED OFF. It will probably happen again.
How to recreate it. Just play the game, have to run offline in the middle of it, press save (make a seperate save not just quit to title/or game). When I return I try to load it back up - go to Conquest load game, Stout - in my case. It loads up but the screen is black, the coursor changes if I move it around and I hear the sounds of stuff happeningI just cant see anything. No matter how long I wait it does not start showing image/graphics/mod -

Mark Merged8-26-23. Mac 13.4. Steam platform. Large map. Didn't get seed before quitting out of frustration. Solo game freezing. Will continue in background without me being able to do anything, and after a couple of minutes unfreeze, but Now I'm way behind.... Happens around the same time even if I save the game before the freeze point.

eaglecamper MergedOccurred in Conquest for me, but seems to occur in other game modes judging by a recent Steam Discussion.
As described, moving military units into an opponent's tile and waiting until the timer of control counts to zero caused the graphics to freeze. Sounds and unit control remains (you can select structures and move units, but naturally cannot see what is occurring. Strangely, pressing ESC and pausing the game re updates the graphics, allowing you to see where units moved/where you moved the camera. Saving and reloading causes the screen to be blank until ESC is pressed, at which the graphics load in, but always remain paused.
This dues cause the humorous setup of playing the game as a slideshow, constantly pressing ESC to "load the next slide", but currently the conquest mission is unplayable, unless I completely restart the mission by deleting the old save.
This bug occurred with the clan of the horse and ox, but I don't think it is limited to those clans. -

Kheays MergedHi,
I am currently in a custom singleplayer game and just after 801 my game starting graphically glitching out and then stopped, frozen screen, did not fix itself within 20 minutes of waiting. I have reloaded the save but at the exact same point, start of 801 september, my game got the same visual errors and crashed. I have tried reloading the game, running through OpenGL instead of DirectX, and completely uninstalled and reinstalled but this hasn't solved the problem.
I have tried other singleplayer games and have come to the same issue.
In total I can no longer play northgard singleplayer past 801 september.
Info:
Solo Mode, custom or default
Windows 11
OpenGL and DirectX
Play stoat on hard difficulty in singleplayer, game starts glitching out in 801 and by september crashes.

Zatarra MergedAny game mode with goat clan will crash after approximately 30-40 mins of play.
It's a memory leak.
I tested this completely, played a custom game without Goat clan, for over an hour, twice. 2 tested large map games without Goat. And NO crashes, over an hour each game.
With goat clan included it crashes in 30 or 40 mins.
The sounds and game mechanics continue, you can toggle the PAUSE "P" or ESC-pause and see the GUI updates, movement etc. But you cannot interact with GUI.
Eventually you will get an out of memory page warning from Windows.
Happens in directx or opengl -

Dragonsinhunter Mergedon blood moon conquest level, extreme diff, upon destroying enemy town hall game crashes and starts taking up basically all memory on computer, can still hear game sounds going on but screen is completely stuck, enemy getting destroyed by jotnar did not cause game to crash, playing on DirectX, has happened every time I destroy enemy town hall

Dusk MergedMode : Solo Conquest
OS : Win10
Game mode : Both OpenGL and DirectX will give the same result
Map seed : 1072192523 (average sized map, Minopoly map)
Game version : 3.2.3.34113
I've seen the first crash with the Stoat clan conquest, the screen freezes right after a clan gets eliminated. It usually lasts a second or two but now the game stays in this state. The music and sound effects go on but not the image.
I've tried with the Lynx, at Conquest stage 2 you have to do a Domination Victory so the elimination of all clans is mandatory. Because of this bug, this is now impossible to do.
Thank you -

Krzysztof MergedConquest mode. System PopOs (Linux). GL or DirectX? No idea.
Game freezes when my opponent loses a tile. I played as Ox and my opponent is Goat. When I wait on opponent's tile, where the goats are, and they lose control of it, the game freezes/ crashes - I am able to pause, save game, but I'm not able to continue game even after reload. -

Chip Senkbeil MergedWhen playing single player or multiplayer conquest, the game eventually freezes when decolonizing a tile. This typically occurs late in the game and can happen when decolonizing a regular tile (e.g. goat clan w/ a sheep building) or enemy base.
In the past, there has always been some lag when decolonizing an enemy base, especially when all of the buildings get destroyed later. Now, the game is completely frozen with the music playing.
With single player, I can still press escape to bring up the menu, which will also fresh the rendered view to show a frozen update of the game. The game itself on single player still runs. On multiplayer, it is unclear for a non-host player.
Saving and restarting the game does not resolve this issue.
For me, I am running this on an M1 Mac Mini. Been using the computer for a couple of years to play Northgard without issue.
Appears to be a widespread issue as discussed here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/466560/discussions/1/3826424631146072 -

Taybridge MergedSince the last update on four separate occasions (twice with Goat and twice with Horse) the game freeze's during conquest mode at various times throughout each game . playing on Win 11, can still hear audio carry on as normal. also since the last patch two times out of four the Dwarfs never spawned in after achieving 100% diplomacy these issues have never happened previously. hope we can get this resolved seem to be happening with a alot of other people. many thanks

iakin MergedI have encountered a persistent issue in the game where, upon loading a saved file, I am met with a black screen instead of the expected gameplay, The game becomes unresponsive and locked in this state, requiring me to manually close the application.
This problem consistently occurs and has become a significant obstacle to my progress. I have taken several troubleshooting measures, including reinstalling the game, but the issue persists. Notably, this bug exclusively manifests itself during Conquest mode.
LINK VIDEO OF THE BUG : https://youtu.be/g8owuJpVJMc
1. Game Mode: Conquest
2. Operating System: macOS Ventura 13.5.1
3. Graphics API: OpenGL
4. Reproduce the Bug: Initiate a Conquest game, save the progress, and then attempt to load the saved game.
5. No seed available : Black screen
7. No save file : saved in the cloud with steam
I hope this information helps to identify and resolve the issue. Please let me know if any further details are required to address this pr -

Kiezle MergedWhen killing an enemy late in a conquest freezes the game completely until all of the buildings burn down.
This appears to happen in solo when:
Lots of buildings are burning very late in a conquest.
This appears to happen in multiplayer when:
Early in conquest if there are lots of players (2 vs 6, the time it happened to us was Lynx hosting with Stag (me) as ally on "How to train your wyvern") -

Patrick MergedFor three consecutive times now, Northgard hangs completely when doing an Inner Sea conquest. Lynx and Kraken. It happens about halfway through. The screen freezes completely on the host server, and on the other pc all units march in place. When alt-tabbing away and back, the screen becomes and stays black. CPU nor memory spike during the hang.
