Age of Wonders 4 - PC Hotfix - 04/05/2023​



To my fellow Godir,

First off, we want to thank you for the awesome release! It’s been amazing seeing so many of you finally getting your hands on the game. Many of you have been able to enjoy the game as we intended but there have been difficulties along the way.

Over the past few days we’ve been hard at work to address the most common issues that have popped up. The people on the Hotfix branch have been incredibly helpful in tracking down the Graphics Driver issues and we’re now confident in rolling out the fixes at large.

For users with the NVIDIA Graphics cards defined below, that have experienced frequent crashes, we have added a Driver Workaround setting. This setting will be automatically enabled for the affected users and should alleviate the most commonly experienced crashes.

May your Pantheons Thrive

Game Version: 1.002.003.78130

I cannot reach the settings because the game crashes during startup. What key can I add to PlatformSettings0.cfg to wire it in? Unfortunately, the default created config file does not seem to contain the key.

Since this latest hotfix, my game has been stuttering instead of crashing, so I am grateful for that!


After reviewing the specs, my computer is very slightly below the minimum specs, which is bad enough on its own, probably exacerbating the bugs that were there before. I was able to complete a turn that I could not before.
 
My game was not crashing until this update. Now, when I defeat the last enemy in the Archipelago map, the game consistently crashes on the transition from game map to post-game. I am therefore unable to progress and complete this map. Error reporting runs into an Internal Server error and fails.

Specs:
i9-13900K
RTX 4090 (latest drivers)
64 GB RAM
Windows 11
Steam

That is correct, it's listed under the Known Issues as we're still investigating it.

If your driver crashes before being able to get to the settings it might be worth to go to your Documents\Paradox Interactive\Age of Wonders 4\Config folder and changing the "Video.DriverWorkaround" from false to true manually in the PlatformSettings0.cfg.

Just want to throw one more issue on the pile and tell you that I love this game already.

I'm currently playing with two friends and we wanted to use at least the massive maps mod from the beginning.
The problem is, everytime I add any mods to my playset, I get the information that cross-play doesn't support mods and will be disabled, but we are all playing on PC on the steam version.
It works perfectly without mods, but as soon as I add them I'm unable to join any multiplayer games or even see the existing ones.
They also can't join me while we have mods enabled.


I hope you can fix this or have some insight as to what might be causing this.

The worst game release I've seen. I can understand some mistakes and shortcomings. But when the game doesn't start at all... Moreover, someone is playing, and someone like me is sitting and watching the forum only waiting for a hotfix. And for some reason they are not in a hurry with hotfixes.
I'm upset and angry!
