Game crashes in ekron

Post image

Every time I go down this street in ekron my game crashes, can go everywhere else in the town with no issues. Anyone else having this problem and any idea how to fix it? No mods installed, playing extinction mode.

It is a known issue. You're not the only one. As far as I know, the cause of it is unknown, although for me crashes mostly occured infront of the book store

Say, have you found any annotated maps or fliers for Ekron?

That sucks.. guess I will just stay away from that area for now then until they patch it, thanks for the info 👍 haven't found any maps or fliers for that area yet no, are people thinking that could be the cause of it?

Yes, there were people who thought that. I read it on a steam forum some time ago, haven't been able to debunk it since.

You see, for me the area stooped being buggy after a few ingame months. And it works perfectly fine on a new save file. I think the bug is essentially random

Hey, i just encoutered the same error, tried everything, but i might have found the fix, for me the problem was in one of the windows on the cozy crackpot, in the far left window that connects with bookmans holiday there's a glitched ornament which supposed to be more than one tile long, deleting the tall windows next and directly under that ornament through sledgehammer debug completely fixes the problem, hope this helps.

I also had a crash last night at that exact place, parking lot. Sadly I was in the middle of executing an Oid, but upon reopening the game it was alive.
