Crashing on Uldoon's Trail

[sir_blacksoutalot]

Is anyone else experiencing excessive crashing in the Uldoon's Trail area?

Over the past few days, my character crashes repeatedly while in this area. It doesn't happen in other areas, seems this one is problematic for me. No idea why though.

I've been back to Uldoon's Trail a few times since posting this issue. That zone crashes me repeatedly. The crash usually seems to occur when a spell is being cast, either by my char or the flind shaman or a party member.

Is there something about the technical area design of Uldoon's Trail that makes spell effects particularly intense on graphics? I've never read of anything similar to this experience. But spell effects seem to be the consistent issue, and only on this server map.

I'm going to try adjusting down my graphics settings. Hopefully that helps with this excessive amount of crashes. I've been getting hit with a lot more random crashes of late (another player reports having similar experience), so maybe adjusting graphics will help cure my overall issues.

i frequent the area as a transition, and i have not witnessed the same experience as you. perhaps grab someone to go with you to test if it is you or the area that is causing this.

[sir_blacksoutalot]

It seems to be my bard character. I've traveled there with a caster party member, and he has no issues.

I've also traveled all over the Uldoon map with my cleric in the past. I never experienced any of these issues. It's just plain weird—but it's also very real and frustrating beyond belief to crash every 30 seconds.

I'll keep an eye on things, only posting here in case it helps others. But seems to just be me. Simple answer is to just not go there!

Happened three times to me in 30 minute span last week

It's an area I semi-frequently use to solo grind characters around level 15-18 or so, and I've not noticed it being any less stable than anywhere else.

I don't have my graphics settings all the way up to max, though.

If its a bard - do you have metamagic spells on your hotbar? If so, using the Client Extension will fix crashing issues.

[sir_blacksoutalot]

Nope, no metamagic in my build, so no such feats in hotbar.

I've defaulted to the simple of strategy of just never venturing through this area.
