[OPEN] Game Crashing on Koboh (PC)

Having the same issue, second planet, freezing around the point of the first rest, I have had this happen as the birds fly away as you described, whenever I open the nearby chest you need to grapple to, and while exploring the nearby echo. For me the freeze is most consistent when opening the chest but this could align with the birds flying away. It always occurs. 

Yep! Having the same issue, I also have an i5, I am wondering if perhaps this is what they meant when they mentioned there were performance issues for players with CPUs that weren't as good as their GPUs? I know my CPU is getting old and was expecting to have to deal with some stuttering or playing on lower settings despite by RTX 3070, but the fact Coruscant worked and Koboh doesn't seems strange and as if my CPU is maybe not the primary issue here. It's good to know others have the same issue though I am sad that we have it. I ended up getting a refund through Steam at 2.6 hours playtime by describing the issue and they refunded with no hassles, I 100% plan to repurchase the game as soon as this issue is fixed however as I was really enjoying it up until it stopped me from playing lol.

@-KoS-Darth_LopezI think part of the problem is that EA is not managing comms on this thread. People are posting and posting and all we're getting is radio silence. The earlier posts from EA mentioned reinstalling and repairing the game. Clearly this doesn't solve the problem. What EA needs to say is "We acknowledge the problem on Kobah and our team is working on it. Expect an update on this date."

But we don't get that. We just get days and days of radio silence. Hence people flip out. Now your point about this sort of thing happening before is fair but EA needs to take some responsibility here.

To be frank: I feel exactly as Upa44 feels. And telling me no one forced me to purchase is a cop out for EA, especially after all the charming advertising with Mark Hamill to bait gamers to buy. It's blame the customer for paying decent money and expecting the game to work as advertised. Pretty weak, even if it is a common problem.

@-KoS-Darth_LopezWell I'm not across all the various YouTubers and their warnings. And I don't think I need to be. I'm a Jedi Fallen Order fan, I saw the ads for Survivor and in my case the advert with Mark Hamill swayed me. And I'm not across EA's reputation: Fallen Order worked great for me without issues. Why should Survivor be any different?

I'm going to politely disagree with you regarding any of us consumers being part of the problem. A game is advertised and we expect it to perform as advertised. You can't go to court and plead an exemption under the law because of a review by a YouTuber. Under the law, having a bad reputation according to some quarters is no excuse for releasing a bad product which doesn't perform as advertised.

Ultimately EA needs to be responsible. I'm not a subscriber of laissez faire capitalism where caveat emptor reigns supreme. Under the law EA is responsible for making sure their product performs as advertised according to the minimum system specs they published.

This isn't Star Trek and we're not Ferengi. We have laws governing this sort of behaviour and it's not even 1% the fault of consumers if a game doesn't perform as advertised. You shouldn't feel even slightly responsible for EA my friend.

Otherwise let's agree to disagree.

@-KoS-Darth_LopezIt's the fault of consumers that EA is the way it is? That assumes perfect competition in a perfect market. It's a theoretical economic model that has no place in reality. I wanted to play the next stage of Cal's Star Wars story and there was no other option. So your point is invalid and very ivory tower in its approach.

Your point about the Mark Hamill advert is ill founded. Not everyone absorbs the content you absorb or should have to. Gamers come in many forms and it's high handed to expect others to follow your personal example with respect to pre-purchase behaviour when existing laws are sufficient to establish who is responsible.

Again "speak with your wallet" is more of the same Ferengi-style "caveat emptor" nonsense. No one is suggesting class action but the legal point is well made and sarcasm about the futility of a law suit over a $70 purchase doesn't change the fact that morally and legally EA is at fault.

If you wish to hold yourself and other gamers partially responsible for EA's quality control, it's purely a case of blaming the innocent victim/yourself. Morally and legally I have no truck with that perspective. The idea that people could punish EA financially by choosing not to purchase a product they want based upon mass advertising is naive and laughable. I don't think it would be possible even if we tried, which makes the point you're making even more moot. Advertising works for a reason and human nature isn't logical.

the bug still occurs nothing have changed yet
