Especially the settings "Number of Corpses", "Number of Rag Dolls", "Character Shadows" and "HDR Mode" have a large influence. Lowering your graphical settings can have a large impact on performance and crash frequency in Amber. Disabling these features in the options menu can help prevent crashes.

Amber has introduced several new UI elements, including healthbars and a minimap. Testing has shown that this effect isn't very noticable, but can have a major impact on the frequency of Runtime crashes.

Sound Variation is an option that slightly changes the pitch of each sound played, to make sure the same sound effect doesn't sound identical. This option is also found in the launcher, this time under the audio tab. Enabling these options do more to help the game load in the first place than help prevent Runtime crashes, but they're still important. Both these options can be found in Warband's launcher.

The list will be ordered by the impact the change will have on how Warband looks or runs (so the first option will be barely noticable, while the last will significantly reduce your graphical fidelity).Īfter each of these steps we encourage you to test and see if you're still getting a lot of crashes. In this thread we'll list several setting changes that might help prevent the crashes, or at least reduce their frequency. We've had reports of players with all kinds of computers having crashes, and some people with higher end machines are experiencing more crashes than people with lower end machines, or vice versa. This is because the amount of content in Full Invasion 2 has now crossed the boundary of what Warband's engine can consistently handle. With the introduction of Amber the amount of crashes in Full Invasion 2 have increased drastically, sadly.
