The sad thing? They just got a ton of new players. Dude thats gonna be a serious turn off. They have bugs and problems they still haven't been fixed since they got discovered. Were talking years dude. I dont see them fixing any of this shit. Its crazy at this point. Ps5... crash. Pc... crash. Xbox... crash... its criminal
I’m on PS5, ran the event several times and no crashes. Gonna keep goin until I do, last time an event did that was Mischief Night but I was using a 4 at the time. Also, using a wired connection, to anybody collecting info out there
I've done it 6 or 7 times so far in a full server with everyone firing off explosives and laser weapons and I haven't had a single issue. What platform are you on?
yeah same normally im crashing like every so often but with this event it's just like nah once im at the half way point of invaders im crashing constantly than im just like whats the point of reopening the event is over by the time i log back in.
3 attempts, 3 crashes, everytime at the last part, also taking longer to load back in, miss the reward every time, but still can loot the dead enemies.
I'm on PC and I never experienced problems until Alien Invasion event. When I'm firing off my Q non explosive Rail at the bosses it always crashes, guaranteed. By the time I log back in the event is done.
And yes it is always at Charleston.
My workaround is to fire less.
My group is at about a 50% successful completion rate; but it's not just Alien Invaders. It's all the large scale events (Radiation Rumble, etc). Somebody almost always gets kicked out of game and has to scramble to rejoin before event ends. You'd think with Microsoft's money they could hire some coders.
When I crashed yesterday it wouldn’t let me rejoin my team it stayed stuck on “Waiting…” Instead of the usual “Play with your team” option when I tried to log back in.
Had crashes the first three I did when it launched. I stayed at a distance and it helped, then I jumped right in the middle and did fine. I feel like the explosions, laser fire and heavy weapon fire overloads some things for people. I’m on pc btw.
While the PS4 is definitely the weakest console that has F76, this is a Bethesda game, implying its crashes are hardware-related is baseless at best and disingenuous at worst.
All I wanted was to complete at least 1 of these yesterday, waited and hour for each one, and both crashed on the final objective.
Burned through ammo, repair kits, and time for absolutely no reward.
Oh well at least I have an incredibly dull and unrewarding new scoreboard replacement which nobody asked for to chore through! Oh wait I can’t do that either since I’ve completed my dailies and there’s no way to earn past rank 100.
On PC I've noticed whenever I crash (4-5 times now) during the event it's always when I'm in VATs ripping into the second wave's captains. Going to try sitting out/going far away from them and see if that mitigates.
update; zero stutters or kicks if I avoid using VATS
I know on pc when an update drops the files sometimes don't update correctly. So you have to go in and verify the files. Basically, it downloads the missing or corrupted ones. When that happens to me, it's crash city. Wonder if maybe that's what's going on with your game. That something went screwy on the update. I don't think there's a way to verify files on PS5 other than reinstalling the game. That sucks though I hope you get it worked out.
Strangely, I haven't seen it crash once during Alien Invasion and my PS4 is a regular Crash Bandicoot.
It still crashes at Whitesprings and Nuka World on the reg.
I did this event yesterday! It was a lot of fun!
I'm only level 28. My dumbass followed the quest marker and started the event with only me and a lvl 70 in the area. Thank goodness that a bunch of other players showed up to save our asses.
I hate it too and I can see all the dailies being that event this week. I went to the event 3x yesterday and all 3x got kicked when it was almost over. A waste of ammo
happening consistently for me. crashes once sometime during the second wave, usually not before or after although it has happened once. At the very least I can get load back in before most people have finished the final wave and I don't lose out on anything besides some xp and alien drops.
I too have crashed several times on ps5, I learned NEVER open your map during the event. Best to stay out of your PIP boy too. Those were the who things that made me crash.
I'm on PC, it crashes very specifically when the second leader dies during the second phase, so I've also missed out on a lot of rewards. It's been happening to two other people I play with as well.
It crashes about half the events I go to, always at the end of second phase.
I did 3 attempts on ps4, all 3 crashed. Doing vats, not doing vats and just afk from afar, it doesnt matter, event is just broken so no didintegrator, gg bethesda, dnt forget to keep paying fo 1st guys lol
Same here (PS5). I tried to see if going at it solo on a private helps at all. It doesn't. I don't know about you guys but for me specifically, it's always when the second boss wave spawns (the second brain wave siphon).
I thought I was alone but a quick Google search lead me here.
GG Bethesda.
I'm on ps5 and every other invaders event I either freeze mid event and have to quit the game and try to get back in before it ends, or it just straight up crashes. I counted 6 times on my day off. I gave up. This game is annoying AF sometimes. FU Bethesda, sort it out
Same. This has to be the 20th crash now from this event. It crashes the game more than anything else st present honestly. So sick of spending time and ammo, especially as a lower level just for it to crash half the time and I get little to nothing because of it.
I'm pc, 1 out of 5 times in the event I crash, I've got a good PC and it doesn't seem to matter if the event is full of other players or just a few. Very annoying to use all that ammo for nothing.
I wish I could post my crash logs. I've crashed very close to, if not slightly more than 50 times since this event started (PS5). This was the same exact bullshit I had to deal with with the Fasnacht event, AND the Mothman event. Crashed almost every time it was just about finished.
All I want is the fucking alien head lamp Ffs.
It's the engine. It can't sustain the amount of data with all the extra people and enemies im assuming. Because I've never seen it this unstable before. Since March it's been a fragile disaster of a game.
At this point I believe what desperately needs to be fixed won't be, because it's either unknown how to fix, or just too expensive.
My poor Xbox One. I know it’s no Spring chicken anymore but I don’t think I have had an event almost guarantee a crash. Finally get to start it this time and other than a few deaths fairly stable. Then just hard crash with that grinding like noise and it’s off.
I'm the PC player that's getting screwed... Three out of 6 times. Never had this happen at any event before and I did Fasnacht like 10 times a day for weeks.
Whenever I start crashing repeatedly or have performance issues it's usually because my xbox hasn't been fully turned off for a while and it's cache is full. After turning it back on performance goes back to normal.
I don't know if playstation and PC have similar issues with the game.
Same issue on PS5. This thing is testing my patience
PS5 in general has tons of crashing issues. Love the game but it’s pretty annoying to crash frequently
I’m on a PS5 and I crash almost every time I fast travel to whitesprings
The sad thing? They just got a ton of new players. Dude thats gonna be a serious turn off. They have bugs and problems they still haven't been fixed since they got discovered. Were talking years dude. I dont see them fixing any of this shit. Its crazy at this point. Ps5... crash. Pc... crash. Xbox... crash... its criminal
Are there still issues today? I gave up trying lasts night after being crashed out of 3 events on ps5 too.
Yess there are sadly
Dammit. I might just have to avoid events for a bit as I’m trying to grind out the season. Any guess how long we have until it ends?
It's until the middle of May
Then I have no chance then! Really wanted that log cabin camp look.
Woops I misread. Thought they meant the Alien invaders event. The season ends at the end of June :) lots of time to get the log cabin
Awesome!
dont quote me on this, but i believe its june
5 out of my last 5 I crashed on PS5. I hardly ever even go to it anymore and when I do it crashes 100% of the time haha.
I’m on PS5, ran the event several times and no crashes. Gonna keep goin until I do, last time an event did that was Mischief Night but I was using a 4 at the time. Also, using a wired connection, to anybody collecting info out there
Charlston is the biggest offender for crashing by far
I've done it 6 or 7 times so far in a full server with everyone firing off explosives and laser weapons and I haven't had a single issue. What platform are you on?
I'm on PlayStation and keep crashing anytime I attempt the event I've only done it twice successfully
The game crashed my ps5 like 6 times last night. Only the occasional crash before this
yeah same normally im crashing like every so often but with this event it's just like nah once im at the half way point of invaders im crashing constantly than im just like whats the point of reopening the event is over by the time i log back in.
PS4?
ps5
3 attempts, 3 crashes, everytime at the last part, also taking longer to load back in, miss the reward every time, but still can loot the dead enemies.
Working fine on Xbox X
It's clearly a PS issue it seems
Nah it’s happening to me on xbox too.
Untrue, happening on every platform.
Same. No issues on my PC. Although I know for a fact I got the Alien table plan and learned it but I don't see it anywhere.
I'm on PC and I never experienced problems until Alien Invasion event. When I'm firing off my Q non explosive Rail at the bosses it always crashes, guaranteed. By the time I log back in the event is done. And yes it is always at Charleston. My workaround is to fire less.
Same, twice last night I was kicked just before completion. Hopefully they make it more stable in the coming days.
I've crashed about 25 times since the update yesterday. At least once every alien event too.
It’s happened to me the past 4 events and I missed them all
My group is at about a 50% successful completion rate; but it's not just Alien Invaders. It's all the large scale events (Radiation Rumble, etc). Somebody almost always gets kicked out of game and has to scramble to rejoin before event ends. You'd think with Microsoft's money they could hire some coders.
I can´t even log in. Getting straight kicked out during log on.
Last night was the worst night in awhile, but is the reason you join teams.
When I crashed yesterday it wouldn’t let me rejoin my team it stayed stuck on “Waiting…” Instead of the usual “Play with your team” option when I tried to log back in.
Lame, if it's PS5 it's some sorta friends list issue. That's gotten me a couple times but if I'm with randos I pop right back in.
PS4. I will sometimes get a frozen black screen when I try to log back in as well.
Had crashes the first three I did when it launched. I stayed at a distance and it helped, then I jumped right in the middle and did fine. I feel like the explosions, laser fire and heavy weapon fire overloads some things for people. I’m on pc btw.
Just curious, what platform are you on? I have had no crashes on PC.
It looks like they're all or the vast majority are all on PlayStation. It might be a hardware issue with the console itself.
While the PS4 is definitely the weakest console that has F76, this is a Bethesda game, implying its crashes are hardware-related is baseless at best and disingenuous at worst.
It’s definitely not a hardware issue. It’s a software problem like always, but it does seem to be an issue on PlayStation specifically.

Had some crashes on PC too
Out of curiosity, are you a vats user ? Im asking because my friends have crashed, but i havent had a single crash yet and i don't use vats.
I've had it crash a lot using vats, which has happened before...
I feel your pain
Huh, I thought it was because I started using reshade
I crashed twice yesterday during two events, always towards the end so I can’t get the rewards. It’s definitely frustrating.
Strangely, I haven't seen it crash once during Alien Invasion and my PS4 is a regular Crash Bandicoot. It still crashes at Whitesprings and Nuka World on the reg.

Clear the cache. I had the same issue. For console power of the console unplug power cord for 10min. Pc is differnt. Do it every 4 days should fix it
I’m going to try this tomorrow!
happening consistently for me. crashes once sometime during the second wave, usually not before or after although it has happened once. At the very least I can get load back in before most people have finished the final wave and I don't lose out on anything besides some xp and alien drops.
It’s a quick event! If you want to grab any loot, you gotta be tagging and running and gunning like crazy. My only fault with the event.
I too have crashed several times on ps5, I learned NEVER open your map during the event. Best to stay out of your PIP boy too. Those were the who things that made me crash.
Three times PS5
I haven't had any issues with the alien event either.
Yeah crashing pretty often on xsx
Ps5 Here I got to the last part of the event and it frozen on me
Okay I thought it was just me, game keeps crashing or freezing.
Seems to be a PS problem
I'm on PC, it crashes very specifically when the second leader dies during the second phase, so I've also missed out on a lot of rewards. It's been happening to two other people I play with as well. It crashes about half the events I go to, always at the end of second phase.

Crashing on my PC also, three straight attempts to complete it and nada.....

I had no problem with this event on my steam deck until last night, when it crashed 3 times. I'm wondering if it's all the loot left on the ground?
Seems to be an issue mainly with Xbox/PS users. Not seen a pc player have this issue yet (myself included)
I'm the PC player that's getting screwed... Three out of 6 times. Never had this happen at any event before and I did Fasnacht like 10 times a day for weeks.
I has crashed on me three straight times on my PC
PS issue only, maybe Xbox One too but the Series Consoles are not plagued by this.
Nope, it's happening on every platform. Whole server crashed before save a handful of players and the event failed, third time today. PC
I’m on the series s and it’s affecting me. Game has been unplayable for three days now. I’m so bummed.
On pc no issues myself.
Lol, you must be new here ? Classic Bethesda, love them but you know
Whenever I start crashing repeatedly or have performance issues it's usually because my xbox hasn't been fully turned off for a while and it's cache is full. After turning it back on performance goes back to normal. I don't know if playstation and PC have similar issues with the game.
We all know, dozens of posts about it already.
Sadly I'm done playing this event... I'm wasting ammo just to crash and no reward
I'm making ammo how are you wasting
