Crash/freeze bifrost muspelheim

27 votes

Bifrost, Muspelheim, 2 player, peer-to-peer, on windows, direct x, 100% reproducible
When ever a unit dies to fire dmg (either fireblades killing the golem or a stone golem lighting my units on fire) on the buring tiles in our own teritory the game freezes and my RAM goes up to 97% usage; sometimes the whole PC crashes ("Fatal error, out of memory (pages), E:\Projects\shiroTools\hashlinks\src\src\gc.c(410)")

1. Bifrost / 4 players, middle difficulty, volcano realm (3rd choice)
2. Win 10. I hosted for the group as I usually have the most stable internet
3. Can't remember, but all 4 players experienced the same issue
4. Can probably reproduce this, simply play 3 realms yourself to go to volcano hell.
5,6,7 can't provide a save as we completednthe realm

I noticed two issues: every attack from the creeps led to a warning that my troops were under attack even when my allies were attacked by i.e. golem spawning in their lands
Attack spam led to audio notification spam ( honk honk honk), the game (frames) started to hitch or even freeze completely, also interrupting all audio, and afterwards the game would lag for a bit with lower framerate possibly due to the ash sky overlay?

All 4 members of the team had this hitching, it was very unpleasant

Aside from that, the mode picked our newer player's only food tile and set it on fire 9 times in a row. Please add a cooldown per tile, pic

In second map Muspelheim:
My friend was host: In the first month, game froze on his side and started to fill memory. RAM went full.

Same safe game, but I loaded this time: Started Muspelheim again, after first winter/attack: game froze on my side at I could see in the taskmanager how my memory was filling. Roughly 1 GB per 2 seconds. When it reached 40 GB I killed the Northgard process.

1. Bifrost, Peer-to-Peer
2. Windows 10
3. DirectX

After about 10-15 minutes of playing Bifrost as Garm the game froze. I noticed in task manager that the memory was rapidly increasing and had consumed over 13G of ram. This happened shortly after assigning two brawlers to fight in the arena at once, but I have not reproduced yet. I was playing Peer-to-Peer with two friends, one as Bear and the other as Goat.

1) Bifrost coop 2 players
2) PC, Windows 10
3) DirectX
4) Game froze twice indefinitely during Muspelheim mission. First time after about 20 minutes upon killing an enemy, second time at 5 minutes when dealing last hit on a stone golem.
5) Game freeze ocurred the second time at this moment : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/434827804639756308/1292503198053044254/image.png?ex=6703f8e7&is=6702a767&hm=bbc61124448b82c18e104f6d466eda204d3f5d12c52266c78301d29711645357&
6) Game seed : 44512884, version 3.5.34.39794
7) Save file : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dNwn_ggiTannEmC8WUlSX61L3FqqXs-T/view?usp=drive_link

Additional details : no other issues in Conquest or during the 1st Bifrost mission (same player). The game was running smoothly until the freeze. I could still hear some sound in the background and my teammate could keep playing the game normally. No error message ever popped up.
Had to crash the game manually as it would stay frozen.

My friends and I played a whole bunch of 4 player Bifrost. When we started trying to play on the Volcanic map (The starting one, alternative to Midgard) after playing for a bit the host would max out their memory and the server would halt, rendering the map effectively unplayable.

The symptom itself manifests as everything in the world being stuck in place, repeating the animation of its current action.

did a 4 player game and got a crash. seemed to be memory leak on me (the host) but other players didn't get the memory leak. game still thoroughly crashed. tested again today in a solo game I had in Muspelheim also got a crash that seemed to be a memory leak but I got a chance to send a bug report before it crashed and self ended the process. this one I don't think was caused by fire damage but poison damage instead. maybe a bug related to dot based deaths.

1. muspelheim bifrost 4 player or solo.
2. windows 11
3. directx
4. memory leak. frozen indefinitely in 4 player. got an error warning and submited a bug in solo then continued. game froze memory leak noted on task manager and game self terminated.

see my bug report of the issue, gamer tag BakaWisdom on steam NA region

During the game, the screen suddenly freezes and all 40GB of memory is occupied. The game is completely stuck and can only be forcibly closed

Had a crash immediately before losing a brawler in a burning area (playing as Squirrel). Happened in a single-player Bifröst game.

I'm gonna add my stuff here so you have one more save file to work with:
The game freezes when I kill a golem in Muspelheim (so far always iron golem) and I have to close the game through the task manager.

1 - Bifrost, Muspelheim, 2 players.
2 - Windows 11
3 - DirectX
4 - Play on Muspelheim, play normally, whenever you kill a golem there is a chance for the freeze to happen.
5 - Didn't make a screenshot but it would look just like the other screenshots here.

1 - Bifrost, 4 players, any map
2 - all of us are on windows 10. Peer to Peer
3 - DirectX
4 - Get pop up saying "something went wrong" have the option to press continue, 50/50 chance the game continues or completely locks up. happens completely at random, sometimes 2 minutes into game, sometimes 30, no consistency on events happening, things being done, time of year.
Seems to be happening more and more frequently since the first time it happened.

Hi,

Not exactly the same issue but 4 players peer to peer, join the map and the UI not getting updated properly, Food source shows -13 but my food is actually going up. Building doesnt show the %. By playing a bit more in the game seems to fix but at the end everybody crashes.
I have a save file if needed but its on the last level, i doubt you can use it.
