Regarding client crash issues on the DEV server

Dev Server "Hornet's Sting" General Discussion - Dev Server
1

My DEV server client gets stuck at the “Connecting to Server” stage on the login interface for an extended period. When entering the game and loading the garage, it immediately crashes to desktop with a prompt to report the issue to the developers. I’m not sure if other players are experiencing the same problems, but the crash issues on the DEV server have become even more severe this time. The server performance has also degraded significantly - on the first day, it was nearly impossible to log in, and now the client crashes directly to desktop without warning.

me，too

Are you experiencing this too? I’m currently attempting a client reinstallation to resolve the issue, as account linkage problems shouldn’t typically trigger local client crashes under normal circumstances.

4

When I start the client, the game stays “connecting to the server” and then nothing happens. I can only close it.

5

You should allow the client to complete the process without manually terminating it. This is primarily caused by slow server response times rather than a local client failure.

But I waited 10 minutes, so I felt hopeless :(

7

Having the same problem, also experienced some Kernel level crashes. Made me suspect BattlEye.

But normal WT is fine, so it shouldn’t be BattlEye?

8

Possibly, but the game still crashes even after I’ve disabled the anti-cheat system.

Okay I’ve tried reinstalling the client and reinstalling my drivers and chipset. Still crashes

have the same issues, unplayable now
Update
looks like it’s the cefprocess.exe issue

Did you manage to get a fix or nah?

Basically the same here.

When I enter, it’s normal, but if I try to change the nation, change the setup, or change any vehicle in setup, it crashes. Devs probably have more than 20 reports from me…

13

This is frustrating, because of the crashes, I have BSOD’ed three times from Kernel heap mode corruption. Only the dev client causes it, cause of the 4 times it happened, it was always after a dev client crash

14

The dev server stopped working after I got out of the F/A-18A test flight.
After the game closes by itself, a window appears asking if I want to send the files to the developers.
Sometimes after this window appears, the computer restarts.
File analysis didn’t help. Clean install of dev-server client doesn’t change anything either.
I tried diagnosing the problem with dump files, but when I fixed one cause, a new problem appeared. And every time, a new cause of the problem.
Here I found a bug report: Community Bug Reporting System

btw its so weird that you can actually enter the game with a guest account
