Crashing Constantly On PS4

[Ancestral_Spirit]

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

My team and I are currently trying to finish Weave 79.

I say ‘trying’ not because of difficulty, but because we can’t SEE the end of the Weave due to it crashing before we can even MAKE it to the end!

After countless re-installs, deletion of all data and trying all 4 of us as different hosts, we encounter the same issues over and over again.

At first we thought it was perhaps because so many beast banner carryer’s appeared, that caused the game to plummet to single digit frames that maybe this was the issue.
After another 7 attempts and eradicating every banner carryer in the level, we managed to reach the top of a stairwell with only a few Berserkers and a small cluster of rats. Only for the game to crash again!

I have sent approximately 5 reports to Sony through their own report system after Vermintide 2 crashed (just today alone) and I would imagine they’re getting quite sick of me filing them at this point.

So here I am, begging you to fix this please so we can get this nightmare over with!
My team and I are spending a minimum of 3 hours every day, getting nowhere because the game simply does not function!

I’m getting to the point where I am seriously considering a refund since, in it’s current state, the game is a faulty product.
If I am to be sold a product and buy the subsequent DLC only to find that I cannot even play it, then that product is faulty.

Our team is as follows:

Ancestral_Spirit, PS4, UK, Usual Host

Dark_Overlord, PS4, UK, in same household as usual host

alfabozs, PS5, Germany

moose666man, PS4, Thailand

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Vermintide and enjoyed the second one just as much, right up until weaves and definitely not after seeing that stupid PS4 XMB crash screen multiple times a day.

And while I’d simply love to upload evidence of these crashes, when Playstation crashes it will not allow me to go back into the game and record the footage. And no offense, I’m not going to pay for a capture card simply to prove that a game consistently crashes.

Hi @Ancestral_Spirit,

Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, I don’t have any immediate solution - but please rest assured that I’ve passed this report on to the development team and we’ll investigate!

So we’ve had a few more go’s at weave 79 and we think we’ve found the issue.

Most unfortunately I am now starting to regret paying for the DLC classes as it seems me playing as Sienna Necromancer is what’s causing the crashes.

We noticed there were issues with the class crashing the game before and so wondered if the problem was occurring again.

We have changed nothing about how we play, who hosts, nor changed our tactics.
The only thing that has changed is that I now play as Sienna Pyromancer and NOT Sienna Necromancer and we have experienced absolutely no crashes since.

So while it’s great that I think we’ve solved the issue, I am incredibly annoyed that a class I payed for is now completely unusable

@Ancestral_Spirit thanks for the update and added info.

That’s interesting to learn regarding Sienna Necromancer. I’ve passed this on to our QA team and console developers. We’re on the case!
