no it is not!

I'm on a less than 2 day old fresh windows install and DX12 is STILL crashing repeatedly and consistently.

Specs:

Asus z270 MK1
i7 7700k ( tested on OC and Factory ) OC @ 5.0
64GB DDR4 3200 XMP
2x 1080 Founders Editions ( Tested with SLi Enabled and Disabled ) even isolated a card by removing the SLi HB Bridge.
Game is on a Samsung PM960 NVMe with IRST Enabled.

Display is a 1080p Resolution a Vizio 42" M420SV ( yes, i know its a TV, but one with a 3ms panel and works just fine )

@xcel30 ive just been trying to re-rank my proficiency and expertise, 13 DELTA's just trying to get that one, have no fired a single bullet.

when it crashes as frequently as it is doing right now, and the developers go home for the weekend that data falls onto blind eyes till said developers come back 3 days later? that's 3 days out of the 7 promised to us. We are supposed to get an answer today if its going to be restarted and extended. I still cant accept any viable reason why Massive did this. no developer I've ever seen has put a patch out like this or a PTS and then shutdown for the weekend and let the players suffer...... even EA is not that ignorant.

So the data is already skewed and invalidated. The delta's are clearly being caused by a myriad array of other events, not just Catharsis and HB Gearsets. As I said previously, and in the PTS Discord. i got 10+ Deltas just standing at the friggin Expertise desk! just trying to rank my Prof/Exp ranks back to to at least 10. it took me 3.5 hours with the Deltas, versus the last itteration of PTS P2 it took me less than half of that time due to having only 2 Delta's. Whatever they did, its compromised the entire PTS P3 to 100% unplayable.

And while at the EXP Desk, I never even equipped a HB Gearset, despite the PTS Caches still giving me entire HB Sets as the rewards. i junked them the moment i got them in my INV. but still got endless Delta's every 10-45 minutes.

just from my IT Education alone, this was a serious compounded issue. One of my Delta's when I logged back in, I got put 18 places deep in the Queue. That alone tells me they did not predict the back-end capacity and significantly underestimated the number of people who were going to be trying PTS P3.

They assured us the Dare and KB Weapons were fixed, they are not. its STILL AR Parts on Dare and LMG Parts on KB. They said HB was removed, it is not. its still in the PTS Caches.

soo many errors here, and with Massive's, well, punchline put, massive experience in gaming development, this is just waaaaaaaaay to many errors in one go around to be not worthy of some critical feedback.

One person even tried to justify it due to D2 being 3 years old, <-- nothing but an excuse, ARMA 3 is 8 going on 9 years old and they are still pushing new fixes and patches out! and STILL has a community thousands and thousands large. why would Division 2 be any different?


This was one of the worst PTS I've engaged with, hands down.

@dagrommit its not about the Diamondback, i already have 2 of them. its about just being able to go there. the fact there is no reward for completing all the Golds even further reduces its replay desire.

guess i should have clarified that, im not talking about the Diamondback at all. im concerned with the Mastery, and why there is no reward for the Masterys.

@s3lll yup, brand new windows install, new patch, verified files. DX12 still crashes

Okay, so, I Know that Kenly College is a event that is limited, but, to me, it seems like, the reward is minimal.

If the one rifle is all you get, that's kind of petty for having to do all the work to earn all golds on the Mastery's with exception to having bragging rights ( which is effectively zilch in gaming terms )

Kenly needs to be opened up 100% instead of the small time frames that it is.

Yes!

Please open up kenly all the time, its absolutely ridiculous its only open for a week or so every 4-6 months.

Or turn it into a completely different mission set.

If you open it up completely, please change the way it works, bragging/flexing rights over the quickest completion time is utterly pointless now with builds becoming as advanced as they are. an actual reward for all golds is worth something over just seeing a leader board and the same Diamondback Rifle.

@solitarysole even in PTS, its a PITA to get everything proficient to get your EXP Rank to the max.

You have to burn through ( im EXP 8 and ive had to go buy over 500 PTS Crates so far from the vendor - but they are free! ) the time alone to just open the crate, go back, rank-up, burn up materials, open crate - rinse/repeat god knows how many times to get everything maxed out.

It took me about a hour alone of this ^ ^ to get to EXP Rank 8


A huge time saving tip, when you open those crates, rather than waiting for all the items to be displayed, hit E or Q and move to the next menu category, then go right back or ESC and go back to EXP lady.

@pt_frizzer who releases a PTS on a friday then goes home for the weekend?

Massive as of right now, is literally the ONLY studio i know of who has done this.


**Side rant** this 120 second timeout for forums posts i spend more time here in the forums posting something simple than i do in game!

120 seconds is ABSOLUTELY way to long.

@adrian-11 same

and the networking is horrible now when you connect to a group.

pkt loss, desync, all sorts of issues. when you play solo however......... all is good, till you get the same game freeze and crash.

Yet they went on world wide live broadcast and assured us, the most prominent issues with crashing were fixed.

@imagine_brata lucky you

yup, just hold down ESC, it bypasses the loot reward screen

@acidburn421 yup, and if you equip it...... DELTA.

@n3mb0t true it does, the PTS Caches will Rank 7 a gear set and brand set with 1 just on the resources. but dumping dupe'ed items in your inventory adds to that which the other caches have some of those items.

The real problem is, the crafting bench is bugged to Superior if you make a new agent to gain access to all of that. Im about to test something by dumping all the stuff i have into my stash and accessing it from my primary character and have access to the High-End bench and see if i can just fab a whole bunch of brand sets.

Ill update this as i work on that

@n3mb0t @GnarlyAtol1793

I Agree with n3m, if they would make the timers give a reward of something worthwhile to earn a gold rank on all 10 missions for each difficulty, it would be playable again.

Lose the Open 1-2 weeks every 4-5 months - people would play it.

Rework the entire area into something different of an objective just keep the play style - people would play it.



Right now, Kenly is just boring because there is no value in it being open for a sliver of time nor anything of value reward wise.

@solitarysole nothing you do in PTS will follow you to the live server, i dumped my entire stash and inv for PTS to rework stuff like this. I bounce between PTS and Live, and they are two completely separate data sets.

Id dump all or stash away everything but the one loadout you are actively using.
