FREEZE BUG: Cross of Vidar Mission 5 (Aurelianis)

17 votes

Hello Devs!

I am reporting this bug in the Cross of Vidar story campaign. Basically, what happened was that the game freezes as the ending cutscene takes place in Mission 5 (Aurelianis). Specifically, it occurs when Liv is about to come ashore and speak with Hildegard. I am playing in a Windows 10 PC and had run the game with DirectX. As for my attempted fixes, I have tried restarting the game multiple times, adjust my graphic settings, and even run the game with OpenGL to no avail.

Hopefully, this gets fixed soon because I would love to continue with the story campaign. It would be a shame if this would stop me and other emerging Northgard players from getting the full storytelling experience, especially when the story is becoming interesting. Anyhow, I am confident that you guys can solve this problem ^_^. I am rooting for you guys!

Looking forward to having more clans, gameplay mechanics, and campaign expansions soon.

This is also happening to me.
I finished with the western stone mine incase that makes any difference.

Not sure if it's a fix, but deleted all other buildings apart from mine and had 1x miner and Hidlegard in the zone and it didn't crash.

Same here. Didn't happen on first playthrough though.

This is happening to me also. I'm playing through the campaign again on extreme difficulty. This did not happen the first time.

Just tried the potential proposed fix by Koaka and it didn't work. Game freezes, makes horrible loud sound and I have to kill it with task manager to end it. Was working on achievements, but I guess I'll skill this mission and move on.

hi, guys. When I am playing campaign mode (chapter 5, Cross of Vidar) the game stops responding at the end of the mission. I finish the last title with the stone, that needs to be researched and the game is stuck on a final video. Liv hero comes to inform me about the result and the game is just stuck on that video. WIN 10, playing on DirectX. Tried to load the last save many times, checked files via Steam etc. Nothing helped. It's stuck on the moment on screen shot attached. Save file is not attaching here, only SS.

This happened to me me too. Not the first time I completed it, but when I tried to complete it on Hard difficulty. It's so annoying.
