Possible fix for multiplayer crashes! (pc) | Forums

[KINGmatan]

Hey everybody,

Sorry for the whole thread title in caps lol, just want everybody to see this.

I have found a possible solution for the multiplayer crashes in the lobby, I'm quoting from my post on another thread :

Here's something that solved it for me. Tell me if it helped (Tested on Windows 7)

1. Open windows firewall with advanced settings.

2. create inbound and outbound rules to block driver.exe from the internet but DO NOT CLICK ON FINISH YET! set everything up but don't click on finish.

3. Start DSF and open multiplayer. AS SOON AS THE GAME LOADS (when you're in birds eye view, before you shift into tanner's dodge), MINIMIZE THE GAME QUICKLY! Click on both rules "finish" and get back in the game. Now you shouldn't crash in the lobby, but game won't access the internet, which means you will be kicked out after a little while.

4. Now the game is looking for connection so act fast before the game kicks you back. Enter your friends list and delete whatever friends you don't need, make sure you have less than 10 there ( my recommendation). If your friends don't appear in your friends list or you don't have any friends there, just freeroam for a while until it kicks you back to the main menu (what I've done).

5. Quit DSF, delete both rules you created.

6. Enter the game again and eneter multiplayer. Your game shouldn't crash now in multiplayer.

I know, very weird solution but it worked for me. Please report if it worked.

Again, please reply and tell me if it worked. I know this solution is very weird but it worked for me.

Hope that helped!

Thank you for that. I'll pass that to the developers.

No problem. I still think that the developers should patch the game instead of a community workaround though. There are a lot of small annoying problems besides that one like the bad matchmaking which I think that should be fixed.. Please pass it on to the devs.

Thanks
