In old worlds server crashes constantly

[NottheKrisyi]

This is my seconCrd attempt at reporting this, my first attempt was a month ago around halloween, the game has updated once since the bug appeared (i think around november 21 this second update was applied, the bug started on the update before that)

In my 2000 days old main world serber simply crashes constantly, i havent noticed a clear pattern at all it just crashes constantly, afk? Crashes, paused? Crashes, moving? Crashes, Alone? Crashes, With people? Crashes, on land? Crashes, i havent been to rhe sea recently tho... i havent been able to play on our world for a long time now the thing is completely unplayable

 

Please Klei, PLEASE this is pretty much an emergency, this is THE bug you should look out for and all the bugs related to it that ive seen around here, this is literally unplayable its horrible, i have only tested it on ny 2k days old world, tomorrow i will test this bug in my 1200 days old and 500 days old world to see where the bug draws the line, the bug HAS to do with the age of the world im pretty sure, young servers dont crash like this at all

I will also post updates on this bug when i am done experimenting with it, honestly this situation is so bad i should get a team for it at this point, testing these bugs

Klei, please if you have read this let me know, respond, even if you havent been able to do any progress just the knowledge that you have read our pleads is enough, if progress has been made share it unless you are unable

In this desperation any information is greatly appreciatted, anything is better than silence

I have the same problem as you. Since the update on October 22, all my saves of more than 600 days havent been opened. It crashed as soon as it was opened. I don't understand why didn't solve this problem. I have been waiting for October until now and still can't open game. I see that many people have the same problem that has not been solved. I'm really disappointed.

Are you playing in split-screen mode? Two-player games crash more frequently, and once a crash occurs, it's very difficult to get back into the game. You need to enter the cave with the main account and then restart the Switch to get back into the game.

By the way, my game is over 1400+ days.

Nope.

I have a similar problem. Previously, it happened while playing (mainly when creating a new save), and now I can't even enter my 904-day world because it immediately kicks me out, indicating an error has occurred.

The game has been completely broken since 1220 I would say.
Particularly the split screen mode which has since become completely unplayable. 
When I saw the 1240 update, I had a glimmer of hope that instantly faded during my first reconnection!!
Indeed, I took 42 minutes (!!) to get back into my game, even though I had logged out without any bug the last time I left the game. I’m talking here about a split-screen game as usual at my place (with my wife who is now totally disgusted by the game, which she loved before).

I indicate here what I was able to observe (as if it could still be useful for someone from Klei, fantomatic on the Switch forum):
- we had disconnected in our camp (part at 190 days) in broad daylight but in full rain (important for the rest this detail)
- as usual, crash upon reconnection to the server (we can see everything just before the guest player’s screen)
- if I connect in solo the game works very well !!
- I, as always in these moments, did the trick of the cave (reminder: reconnect solo and isolate the player in the cave so that upon reconnection in shared mode the game loads each player into a different world/server, it helps greatly) but without result.
- the only thing that ended up working is this trick, coupled with the end of rain (2 days later!!!) on the surface world

The rain here clearly had an impact on the crash bug. My conclusion is once again revolved around a data overload, the rain being on Switch a guaranteed moment of lag.

It is therefore necessary, in addition to all the precautions we have become accustomed to taking, to ensure that the part is disconnected WITHOUT the rain!!

Seriously, can a 'Kleiman' at least come forward and say if they are aware of this unplayable aspect of the game right now? And I reiterate my suggestion to give backup management options

I can kind of relate to see somone u play with losing motivation and gaining frustration cuz of this, but instead of my partner is the community my Civilization Server has been built around, the whole experiment/project/event has been forced to be brought to a pause because of this. Its been months now. Its pretty bad...

Tho its mainly me victim of this frustration...

We already discussed what we could discuss without the project moving forward so the community's pretty dead rn

I'm curious. Can you guys replicate the crashes that happen when Wortox is on a boat or when you try to fight a mutated varg in a long term world? Like does it happen every time for you like it does for me?

Game is still unplayable on Switch 2. Constant daily autosave crashes. I have. Post-rift online mode game. Solo play. About 500 days.

and they are working on new content, not fixing this. So yay. Clockwork knights event…but then again you can’t play it.
