Fixed in the 17.11.20 hot fix patch 1.68.156.1220
I had to update Catalina anyway, so this is before I updated Catalina. I am now running the latest version. Attached are config and lastCrash. About to test post installing new version of Catalina. Only have a few minutes to mess with this, but I have upped my graphics just hoping maybe I can play on something other than low-medium. Forums is broken, can't attach a .txt because it's not a txt. (hint: it's a txt.) Copypasting instead.
I'm trying medium now! /fancy...

I have gotten a crash log from Apple to spawn after the latest crash. Here it is for your enjoyment. I'm going to crank my settings to maximum and see if it crashes or implodes my CPU/GPU first. Wish me luck!
I set everything up to Ultra *and* some, and I immediately crashed again as usual. Logs and new config attached.
I have done everything from * game to absolute weakest to run it at absolute best with zero change in symptoms. Crash is within a minute of hitting pause and trying to play usually.
Game... unplayable. I will resume my plan to try again on Friday when the expansion launches.
Cp of Last Crash because this forums is convinced it's not a txt when it is.

It seems my last posts were lost.
Ultra with extras: crashed.
Everything crashed. Same deal. Different outputs on the error messages I get, but... the thing ate them.
In my specific case, I can build in ultra mode without crashes. I'm attempting to see if my GPU will crash or if that bug/problem has been resolved for my machine since the last patch.
One last-ditch attempt to get my latest config and lastcrash files to post to the thread if anyone wants them. Then I build for ten minutes before going to work because building works so I can get a hit hooray!

I’m so nervous reading all of this because my game just finished downloading the new update. ☹️ I’m repairing the game now before I try playing. I’m on my 5th generation for the legacy challenge. I don’t want this update to mess up my save!!!
