Did we ever get a fix for the Isle of Dread crashes?

[KoobTheProud]

Just went to the Isle of Dread for the first time and man that was a lot of instant crashes in a row.

I'm about 99% sure it is an audio-based crash. Went and checked my audio drivers and they are up to date.

No they have never fixed it. I am now stuck back on the 32 bit client.

I had a bunch of iOd insta crashes last week and settings graphics to very low seems to have made it playable (but gross)

Maybe related, maybe not.

Small sample size but I played for an hour 64-bit client w/sound this morning and no crashes.

I think the problem is with Teal, the raptor hire. Specifically I think his vocalizations, when in the presence of other sounds, cause the crashes. Will test more tonight but every crash that I have had was in the presence of Teal.

No pack and no crash here.

We put in a fix for what we thought was likely causing the issue, but it sounds like there may be additional work to do. Please do submit a bug report with information as this has been a tricky culprit to find. The fix was indeed based on the theory that this was being caused by an audio issue, but if it is still happening, then either it is a different audio culprit or something else.

Thanks for the prompt. Ticket entered.

Ran the entire IoD saga tonight in a full group. Killed several rares in the same group.

No crashes.

No Teal.

Are you saying its a dinosaur raptor named Teal hireling that caused the crash?

The previous audio-is-causing-a-crash fix is lacking. My guildie has to turn off audio every time we do a Dread saga or he crashes.

I ran perfectly in Legendary IoD last night. No crashes, no hitches, no strange moments where two sounds overlapped for a second followed by an insta-crash. No teal raptor hireling in sight.

I ran my level 7 in the opening quest with Teal and crashed inside a minute. Logged back in and crashed again.

The day before yesterday I ran IoD for the first time at Legendary levels. A guild mate offered to show me around and I joined his group. Zoned into the wilderness into a cluster of hires and him and almost immediately crashed to desktop. Logged back in and crashed within 30 seconds. Logged back in and when I caught up to him and the hireling pack I crashed. Logged back in and crashed.

Turned off audio and played the rest of the evening without sound or a crash.

Last night when I logged in I asked him not to summon Teal and so we waited for our LFM to mostly fill and then I ran everything with no problem. Two Bards in the group so lots of shouting and no crashes.

It has to be the hireling noises and within that, since I have never had a problem with hirelings anywhere else, it is most likely Teal that is the problem.

All SSG has to do to test it is to remove the sound assets from Teal and see if people are still crashing when he is around.
