Actual result
-------------------
Game Crash


Which Server(s)?
------------------------
Any

Gaming Platform
------------------------------
Nubia Redmagic 5g
Android

Lately I noticed an increasingly more amount of crashes. NWN:EE

Very frustrating indeed. After the last patch... It's unplayable.

Most of the crashes have been reported to Beamdog.

My Current Setup is a Nubia Redmagic 5g gaming phone "16gb Ram". It has handled just about anything I have thrown at it, gaming wise. I do use other peripherals like, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, Headset.... but that does not pertain to this issue at hand.

This list will be edited and updated.


Last 2 crashes had happened in the HUB. Currently the new small shields will crash my game instantly.
I was cycling through them, once I saw the first new small shield model, I had cycled to the next... and down it goes.

I have repeated this on the test server. After viewing the first round and new model, the next click the game crashes.


So either that filename used is old, or the one that beamdog uses is old. Hence Names Differ.
PC's can crunch through more errors than an Andriod. Even if it has the power to do it. It seems that its is just more sensitive to errors.

If there is a ini tweak or something that could be used to circumvent these overly frustrating and game killing issue, please enlightment me.

I take it you're using the mobile app? It could be something to do with the shader updates and probably isn't an Arelith bug.

My android app hasn't been updated since April, but so far it hasn't crashed either.

That may be. "Shader updates"

But what am I to do to resolve the issue?

Many of the files are improperly named. I do not know which is the correct name. Nor have the ability to go in and rename it.

No, this is something wrong with the new content. Not sure what else I can offer up to assist.

The log files maybe?

I don't know what you mean by files and stuff, but if you're using mobile it's quite likely you might end up just needing to wait for beamdog to update the mobile app.

There was a time about a year ago where mobile didn't work for a few months straight.

Edit: As far as what you can do I'd guess getting away from using mobile as your primary platform is probably best. Maybe there's some budget potato laptop you can score that at least would let you use the PC version of the game.

This is my only means of playing. And internet. There are no other options for me.

I have recreated this again on the PGCC server. I equipped a small shield. Then cycled using previous, instead of next. Game crashed once I got to the new model.

I do hope this gets fixed soon. Basically it renders me, and more the other mobile players, unable to play until either removed, or fixed.

I popped into the PGCC on mobile, using an android galaxy tab s7, and wasn't able to replicate this.

I went through all the small, medium, and tower shields to be sure. I don't play on mobile a lot, but I do probably more than the average person, and haven't experienced any instability for months.

Whatever it is seems isolated to your specific hardware or installation. Maybe the app is worth a full delete and reinstall?

I've been working on fixes since the start of this post.

I'll have to keep testing more if its still happening.

I want to thank everyone that has been working with me on this. The support has been great.

Yes. Some crashes just be my setup. Others have been recreated with other mobile devices.

If a full reinstall is called for. I will do so.

But the logs have shown errors. And one at a time, they are being worked out.
