IMAC crashing nonstop during matches, at least once a match

[P0stPack 82]

The game keeps crashing mid game, I was running on max graphics with no performance issues a sec before, 90 fps, then it suddenly crashes with no warning, no performance drops, it has severly ruined my entire week of playing this game, gaijin fix it pls

[kurozakura323 14]

Similar issue. On a IMAC that exceeds systems requirements, there is  frequent crash to desktop mid game over the last few days.  

[P0stPack 82]

yes thats the exact situation for me

[Arm_aber_Sexy 5]

Your are not alone.... 

[Iofi_ 5]

Yes, still crashing constantly. Game is not playable on macOS at the moment for me.

[timmiboi 33]

Same here...

[_SlyBoy_ 18]

Still happening in today's update (2.1.0.82) and has been happening to me for a week. I reported with logs and etc last week, and others have, too.

 

If this was a PC problem it would've been fixed in a day or two max...it's been 7 days now for Mac users, and that seems wrong to me. Certainly is not encouraging, and makes buying premium account time seem stupid.

[timmiboi 33]

Yes, it is useless playing it now, you just throw away money and points cause it crashes every 5 minutes.

[Jagiellonian 11]

Me too. I've posted a lot of reports in another thread, but it doesn't hurt to make some more noise: I've lost five days of premium time because I can't finish a match without crashing to desktop.

[P0stPack 82]

yea gaijin refund the premium time please, its been a whole week of premium time wasted

I’ve got exactly the same on my Mac. It’s made the game unplayable, hopefully it’s fixed soon.

[timmiboi 33]

I have 4 other friends on Mac, they all have the crashes too. Unplayable!

[PPCmgb 29]

Someone else in one of the War Thunder Discord servers who also uses a Mac had unplayable performance after New Power.

 

He ended up building a gaming PC.

 

I will stick to playing in Boot Camp as long as the Mac version doesn't have good support.

I'm somewhere around 7-9 days wasted.  I've tried setting my graphics at minimum and it's reduced the frequency of crashes but not eliminated it.  Makes it really not worth playing.  

 

Reading a few people with Windows complaining about random crashes seems to indicate it isn't purely a Mac issue.

Its now been 2 weeks, and still nothing on this one.

This is almost outright theft at this point, that it took so long post the solution (only on the forums!) is even more frustrating.

Don't forget all the minor updates they've pushed out over fixing this issue....just saying

[Nimitz_Zhang 48]

Same! I bought my Mac last year, I checked all requirements and they way exceed WT requirement. My game was fine until new power update, then the graphics gets funky (some player tank and burned out tank start having digital effect), game started crashing whenever it is temporarily switched to another tab, then it started to crash randomly without warning, averaging once every 3 matches to 3-4 times per match. It gets worse with naval rb, once you crash once you will almost certainly crash for as many times as you try to get back in the match.

 

I tried running hardware check by shutting down, starting and holding option + D while starting to initiate system check, everything is normal, just the game issue. Then I tried using VSync, lowering graphics to high, etc, none worked.

 

Extremely frustrating.

TURN OFF "FULL CLIENT"!

 

It's a check box in the loader on the lower right.

 

Turn it off and the game runs fine. It's something to do with textures, either the ones in the "full" pack are corrupted or they're taking up too much memory.

Try was RealMajorHavoc suggest (above)

[Nimitz_Zhang 48]

Giving it a go, let's see after this update.

[timmiboi 33]

Still crashing after new update.... One month now and still no fix for the crashes. Also still ghost shells. Nothing is fixed.

can also confirm that the crashing is happening... it seems to be more frequently. Also interestingly enough I'm not having Ghost shell issues other than just the normal server jank. 

Hardware more than exceeds requirements... they really need to fix this instead of making the tracks look cool (although I must say that I do love the new effects)

I turned off Full Client, and it worked fine now. Thank you very much!

Although, I do miss the detailed texture, armor value + penetration indicator I used to enjoy with the full client.

Please fix this graphics thing asap Gaijin, I am very not used to this.

[TommyGun96 9]

I also have a ton of crash logs for Gaijin. Where can we upload them?

[fish_outta_water 31]

lol. their servers couldn't even begin to handle the number of crash logs we have for them.
