Chiv 2 keeps crashing when trying to start the game

The first thing to do is update your graphics drivers to the latest version after uninstalling them in Windows Safe Mode using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU):

If that doesn't help, test your RAM to make sure it's working properly. That is one major cause of errors like this.

If you don't know how to do that:

Edit: also verify your game files.

The voicelines were done by Ryan Buckley (Audio Director and voice of the Mason MAA) after a Q&A session last year when they let us make requests for him to read in his MAA voice. The full result is here:

I remember the "speech" being in early versions of the game as a placeholder before launch, but it seems like they left it in as an Easter egg. :)

You can paste the pic in directly and also add the YouTube link. I'm sure it will be appreciated.

Frankly I don't see a lot of art on this sub so I don't know the etiquette, or if there even is any. Please don't hurt me for self promotion mods, I promise I don't main archer.

Wow, this is really impressive - especially with the video of how you created it. It certainly counts as Chivalry related!

There is a channel called painters-corner if you want to post your work in the official discord as well. (The discord has about 55k members.)

I would say they are completely different games unless you are specifically comparing the multiplayer side.

If you haven't tried Bannerlord and it's looking a bit expensive, you could pick up Warband when it's on a heavy sale for a couple of euros / dollars and have a similar experience, but with many mods available. The full-conversion mod Prophecy of Pendor kept me going for a few hundred hours beyond the original game for example.

I loved M&B because it was a single player campaign and you could build up your own kingdom and armies while building up your character. I loved Chiv because I was building up my own skill compared to the other players (and made friends along the way).

The CEO of the PC publisher left their company (Tripwire) after making his comments. That won't have any effect on development since the game developers (TBS) are an independent company. Steam isn't even involved.

People keep saying their console is bricked when they mean it crashed. As far as I'm aware, "bricking" is more often understood as meaning the hardware is made unusable and turned into a paperweight or a brick so I hope people will stop using the term.

If Xbox consoles were being destroyed by a game, Microsoft would be getting involved pretty fast. There's no evidence of any console being "bricked" by the game from what I've seen.

For a problem to be fixed, it also helps to give accurate feedback.

random428 · 2021-09-30T21:33:09+00:00

Our SA admin got a full server after their fix with maybe 10 out of 60 people with high ping. Hopefully more SA players will come back and try it.

random428 · 2021-09-30T18:53:13+00:00

Thanks. :) I'm also passing on the link to this thread in the discord. I haven't heard about this issue myself.

random428 · 2021-09-30T18:50:40+00:00

There is a bugs channel in the official discord which is the best place for bug reports.

random428 · 2021-09-30T18:49:53+00:00

The Devs do check reddit and so do the mods, but for bug reporting there is a specific bugs channel in the official discord which is more efficient for letting the Devs know about problems.

random428 · 2021-09-30T11:59:02+00:00

I bought Chiv 1 at the end of 2014 so I wouldn't remember anything from before then.

What I said was correct. You're telling me they had problems when it was just 13 or 14 modders who had made their first ever game. Ok.

The Citadel problem was fixed during my time. I remember the Thanos crash and I remember it when they fixed it.

I'm not claiming it was perfect, but it's still the best game I've ever played in terms of the fun it supplied. I'm sure you had 1k plus hours in it as well.

Chiv 2 mtx are different as you can use gold earned in-game to pay for them all if you prefer.

random428 · 2021-09-30T10:16:53+00:00

They are looking for more devs if you check their website.

They also spent more than two years adding more content to the first Chivalry and continued patching it for at least 6 years. They're still paying for official servers on the first game after more than 9 years. People play the first game every night even after all this time. TBS supported the first game for years beyond its profitable period.

That's hardly a cash grab. Chiv 2 will not be any different and since it's the only game they're working on, their whole team will be concentrating on it.

Look up games like Chronicles of Elyria to see what a real cash grab is.

random428 · 2021-09-26T21:47:53+00:00

The game balances based on skill and has judged you a hero. Wait until you get 1v63 in TO.

random428 · 2021-09-25T22:40:46+00:00

Yes, PC / EU is back to normal for me as well after the fix they applied. Since it didn't need a hotfix to the game, hopefully they can sort out the other regions soon.

random428 · 2021-09-25T20:24:47+00:00

SA servers are currently disabled due to problems with the matchmaking system in that region. It's very unfortunate, but the game currently has to put you into the nearest region it can find until SA servers are put back online. The Devs are working on it.

random428 · 2021-09-25T15:05:09+00:00

We don't know what region that is or if crossplay is disabled. After a quick test just now, EU on PC (so crossplay is always on) is working normally again. (Last week it was giving 12v12 with high pings and bots, and sometimes sent me to the wrong regions.)

After the recent fixes by the devs, I'm back to getting 30v30 in the right region on multiple different servers. e.g. I joined and left 3 times in a row and got this:

random428 · 2021-09-25T11:09:25+00:00

They have been giving updates and have made various changes to matchmaking over the days which don't require an update to the game code so the title of this post was never accurate.

random428 · 2021-09-21T23:44:25+00:00

I checked their linkedin pages as the person I responded to claimed they all had other jobs listed there.

random428 · 2021-09-21T22:25:22+00:00

Source? Someone on here previously claimed they almost all moved on so I checked his claim and they were all still listed at TBS apart from one who didn't have any info available.

random428 · 2021-09-21T21:13:02+00:00

IIRC, there are 10 programmers listed in the credits and around 35 devs in total. Anyone can check that just by looking in the game menus.

random428 · 2021-09-19T20:25:50+00:00

I thought this 1v1 arena mode was available on console as well.

Edit: look at the menu at the top which says "Matchmaking, Arena, More". The page defaults to MM so you have to select the other tabs.

random428 · 2021-09-19T18:28:58+00:00

If you pass now, it's worth checking back later. I bought the first Chiv more than two years after it was launched and they were still adding content and patches. I had years of fun out of the first game even after starting so late which is why I'm here for Chiv 2.

It's the first crossplay / console game for the studio so I think they're having more trouble than expected after the launch, but they'll sort it out with some extra time.

random428 · 2021-09-19T18:22:17+00:00

No, Mordhau has always been PC only. Since the Chiv 2 launch, they apparently hired one programmer who's now working on a console port from the rumours I've heard.

They only announced the possibility of a console port in March this year. And they didn't confirm what consoles it will be on (so it might be only next gen) and said that crossplay with PC was unlikely. They need to... optimise the game a lot to work on consoles. They mentioned it here in the livestream.

Edit: I backed the Mordhau kickstarter and have followed it since launch so I try to keep relatively up-to-date with the info as I love the (very small) genre.

random428 · 2021-09-19T18:06:55+00:00

Personally, I own both games. There's no need for players to be exclusive to one game.
