no it is not!

I'm on a less than 2 day old fresh windows install and DX12 is STILL crashing repeatedly and consistently.

Specs:

Asus z270 MK1
i7 7700k ( tested on OC and Factory ) OC @ 5.0
64GB DDR4 3200 XMP
2x 1080 Founders Editions ( Tested with SLi Enabled and Disabled ) even isolated a card by removing the SLi HB Bridge.
Game is on a Samsung PM960 NVMe with IRST Enabled.

Display is a 1080p Resolution a Vizio 42" M420SV ( yes, i know its a TV, but one with a 3ms panel and works just fine )

@xcel30 ive just been trying to re-rank my proficiency and expertise, 13 DELTA's just trying to get that one, have no fired a single bullet.

when it crashes as frequently as it is doing right now, and the developers go home for the weekend that data falls onto blind eyes till said developers come back 3 days later? that's 3 days out of the 7 promised to us. We are supposed to get an answer today if its going to be restarted and extended. I still cant accept any viable reason why Massive did this. no developer I've ever seen has put a patch out like this or a PTS and then shutdown for the weekend and let the players suffer...... even EA is not that ignorant.

So the data is already skewed and invalidated. The delta's are clearly being caused by a myriad array of other events, not just Catharsis and HB Gearsets. As I said previously, and in the PTS Discord. i got 10+ Deltas just standing at the friggin Expertise desk! just trying to rank my Prof/Exp ranks back to to at least 10. it took me 3.5 hours with the Deltas, versus the last itteration of PTS P2 it took me less than half of that time due to having only 2 Delta's. Whatever they did, its compromised the entire PTS P3 to 100% unplayable.

And while at the EXP Desk, I never even equipped a HB Gearset, despite the PTS Caches still giving me entire HB Sets as the rewards. i junked them the moment i got them in my INV. but still got endless Delta's every 10-45 minutes.

just from my IT Education alone, this was a serious compounded issue. One of my Delta's when I logged back in, I got put 18 places deep in the Queue. That alone tells me they did not predict the back-end capacity and significantly underestimated the number of people who were going to be trying PTS P3.

They assured us the Dare and KB Weapons were fixed, they are not. its STILL AR Parts on Dare and LMG Parts on KB. They said HB was removed, it is not. its still in the PTS Caches.

soo many errors here, and with Massive's, well, punchline put, massive experience in gaming development, this is just waaaaaaaaay to many errors in one go around to be not worthy of some critical feedback.

One person even tried to justify it due to D2 being 3 years old, <-- nothing but an excuse, ARMA 3 is 8 going on 9 years old and they are still pushing new fixes and patches out! and STILL has a community thousands and thousands large. why would Division 2 be any different?


This was one of the worst PTS I've engaged with, hands down.

@dagrommit its not about the Diamondback, i already have 2 of them. its about just being able to go there. the fact there is no reward for completing all the Golds even further reduces its replay desire.

guess i should have clarified that, im not talking about the Diamondback at all. im concerned with the Mastery, and why there is no reward for the Masterys.

@s3lll yup, brand new windows install, new patch, verified files. DX12 still crashes

Okay, so, I Know that Kenly College is a event that is limited, but, to me, it seems like, the reward is minimal.

If the one rifle is all you get, that's kind of petty for having to do all the work to earn all golds on the Mastery's with exception to having bragging rights ( which is effectively zilch in gaming terms )

Kenly needs to be opened up 100% instead of the small time frames that it is.

okay, i just went through the leaderboard for the league mission times, and there is absolutely NO WAY someone can finish these missions within 5 minutes, the scripted dialog alone and the time to move about, its physically impossible without having something fishy going on.

When is Ubisoft going to combat this ? that is outright unfair to the community that people dont have a fighting chance at legitimate times with these numbers up on the board.

Yes!

Please open up kenly all the time, its absolutely ridiculous its only open for a week or so every 4-6 months.

Or turn it into a completely different mission set.

If you open it up completely, please change the way it works, bragging/flexing rights over the quickest completion time is utterly pointless now with builds becoming as advanced as they are. an actual reward for all golds is worth something over just seeing a leader board and the same Diamondback Rifle.

UConnect, Ubi+, are all issue filled for me, im US Southeast Atlanta.

This has been going on since about 12PM Eastern Time. TD2 Bravo 4's consistently, for some time UPlay said i was not a Ubi+ Holder, but i know for a fact I am, about 10PM it finally gave me that back.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Wildlands refuse to launch at all. This is a platform issue, so we just have to wait it out.


Noteworthy - Ubisoft is AWS ( Amazon Web Services ) Hosted, and they appear to be having issues also. Ive been doing networking telemetry on 15 AWS sites and the response times are varying from 30ms to over 5000ms ( 5 seconds ) so this is potentially a cascading service failure.

@solitarysole even in PTS, its a PITA to get everything proficient to get your EXP Rank to the max.

You have to burn through ( im EXP 8 and ive had to go buy over 500 PTS Crates so far from the vendor - but they are free! ) the time alone to just open the crate, go back, rank-up, burn up materials, open crate - rinse/repeat god knows how many times to get everything maxed out.

It took me about a hour alone of this ^ ^ to get to EXP Rank 8


A huge time saving tip, when you open those crates, rather than waiting for all the items to be displayed, hit E or Q and move to the next menu category, then go right back or ESC and go back to EXP lady.

5 minutes into the TU16 update and PC Crashed. Yes, did the update, then repaired the game and the Redistribution Packages all verified.

Makes you wonder just what is REALLY Crashing the game, because I've given a very big insight to the reason, I'm noticing the most crashes is due to Network tolerances for desync packet loss.

I just launched the game about 5 minutes ago, as a new Invasion is up. I noticed there were only 2 Red Normal Missions + the Capital and Tidal Basin Mission. However, hovering over Capital Building revealed to me that View Point Museum is the third Invaded location, but it is grey in color, not red. Image Attached

Is this a new bug?

Side: My account is secure, no one else has access to it and since i have not played a single mission yet, i should have 3 red missions + capital and tidal.

I have noticed that the crashes are more frequent when paired up with other agents, whether random, friends or clan members. I have played 2,3,6 hour sessions completely solo and zero crashes. When I play with other agents however, things tend to get a bit dicey.

For my specs:
Asus Z270 TUF Mk1 Rev 1
7700k @ 5.0 ( tried both stock and clocked )
64GB DDR4 3200 XMP ( tried both Non-XMP and XMP )
Water AIO ( temps never exceed above 75C )
1080 Ti ( I have two but game does not support SLi and is disabled for .exe - have tried removing bridge - both cards are blower cards and temps monitored to never higher than 77C )
SB 3d R3con Sound Card
game resides on a SATA III SSD

I have verified the game, redone the redistribution packages lost count to reinstalling them
my internet is ATT Fiber Gigabit Synchronous 1Gbit Down/Up

I am a well versed IT Engineer and I've noticed a few things utilizing wireshark network protocol monitoring during solo and multiplayer activities, there is a significantly higher number of bad data requests going on with re-transmits and requests for data verification during Co-OP play that may or may not be indicative of the coding being too strict on synchronization, and when sync breaks and data cannot be sent back and forth well enough the game engine just throws its hands up causing the lockup and stalled engine. To me this indicates the tolerance for data sync should be reviewed or at least relaxed, while yes, can cause rubber banding and possible issues, at least would solve the crashing if that is in fact a issue.

Now, Since I am Intel, my board supports 4G Decoding, but whether its on or off, bears no change for me as far as crashes go. and since I have a 1080, my system does not support BAR Resizing nor since I am Intel, supports SAM. while those two options are relevant to DX12 and those who have supporting hardware, the issue still persists for those with older hardware.

So, ive been noticing this for awhile now, I have been trying to get logs recorded to send off to Ubisoft, I know there is a crash handler and they get data, but the IT Pro in me has been always very curious about something.

Every time my TD2 Crashes, regardless of how it crashed, what i was doing.... etc etc.

I get this:

Information   07/08/22 8:23:12 PM   HHCTRL   1903   None

The specified form size is invalid.

notice the very next line:

Error   07/08/22 8:23:24 PM   Application Hang   1002   (101)

Why is TD2 ( if not specific to my machine ) always trying to access HHCTRL.ocx? and why does it always leave Microsoft Edge running in my task manager?

9/10 times i dont even get the Application error, just the time stamp matching HHCTRL.ocx.

Is this the crash handler? And how is TD2, 9/10 times able to skip over generating a Application Hang/Crash event log?

UConnect, Ubi+, are all issue filled for me, im US Southeast Atlanta.

@adrian-11 same

and the networking is horrible now when you connect to a group.

pkt loss, desync, all sorts of issues. when you play solo however......... all is good, till you get the same game freeze and crash.

Yet they went on world wide live broadcast and assured us, the most prominent issues with crashing were fixed.

@imagine_brata lucky you

when it crashes as frequently as it is doing right now, and the developers go home for the weekend that data falls onto blind eyes till said developers come back 3 days later? that's 3 days out of the 7 promised to us.

yup, just hold down ESC, it bypasses the loot reward screen

@pt_frizzer who releases a PTS on a friday then goes home for the weekend?

Massive as of right now, is literally the ONLY studio i know of who has done this.


**Side rant** this 120 second timeout for forums posts i spend more time here in the forums posting something simple than i do in game!

120 seconds is ABSOLUTELY way to long.
