Halo Wars 2 PC Crash

Games Halo Wars Series

Hey guys is there anyone here who plays this on PC? Game worked really well on release and recent patch seems to have ****** it up. No matter what settings I use, the game would start normally then once i start a game mode of any type, it would crash upon starting the match, blackscreen crash. I have no idea how to fix this as I have tried lowering the settings to the lowest, playing in windowed mode, and even reinstalling multiple times on different HDDs. Advice and tips would be highly appreciated. Kinda disappointed that CA and 343 dont quality check their game bricking patches before hand.

Does your system meet the recommended requirements? Have you updated your drivers? Are the any outstanding updates for Windows?

Yah I have a Skylake GTX 1080 build so reqs arent the issue. I somewhat fixed it by disabling foliage. Now it only crashes after a few minutes in online games. the struggle continues

Okay, all I can suggest is contacting Microsoft Support. See if they can help you out?

At this point All i can do is wait for the patch …

Since many have the problem and the crashes only exist since last update, we can only wait for a new patch. Who hopefully fixes the problem.

My game keeps crashing after every multiplayer games, I still get the xp and stuff when I restart the game but it’s a bit annoying to have to restart the game after every match :confused:

OK IM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS BELOW!

I LOVE HALO WARS 2!

I am going to explain multiple scenarios of the game crashing even now!

My Specs: GTX 970, I5 Proccessor 16GB RAMM, MSI Gaming ZX Motherboard

  1. The game crashes just before it gets to the main menu just before it ask you to buy SGT.Johnson DLC. Why ? (Only Sometimes)

  2. In the middle of the game from any time from beginning to nearly being victorious the game freezes and shuts itself down. Why ?

  3. This is a strange one but i’m going to list it here:
    Sometimes when a game starts normally 3 V 3-AI I am unable to navigate anything on screen like my mouse and keyboard are not working properly but this cannot be the case as my hotkeys work but are unable to select anything.
    Now i thought this may of been the window not showing on top of my desktop properly which is not the case as the game is the only window i have open and it bugs into the background which is extremely strange. Why ?
