As soon as I place a arcade machines, the game crashes, both when I place it individually and as a blueprint.

If I pause the game and then place arcade machines, it works, but if I then resume the game, it crashes again.

What do you mean by "slot machine?"

slender juniper

I've corrected that. Sorry, my English isn't very good.

spiral fox

Maybe this has something to do with your PC specs.

PC specs

I5 12600

16 GB Ram

Intel Arc B570 10 GB

Windows 11

1 TB SSD NVME

#

That shouldn't be a problem.

#

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Not me, they work fine for me.

Bad update from frontier. I'm stuck in a crash loop, can't get out of there. When the game is loaded it crashes. So also can't turn off the arcade machines before the crash is there.

#

Whole weekend is gone now. Hopefully it will be fixed next week. Can't open the park anymore without crash.

are you running any mods? we aren't seeing an elevated crash rate for anyone not using mods so if you are, first of all that's very naughty, secondly, turn them off and try again please.

If you aren't using any mods then please reach out to our support team who can grab more information about your system and help you out.

I don't use any mods.

It could also be due to the Intel Arc B570 drivers, as I still have the water bug after the update. 🤔

#

I also tested this today under Linux, but the same error occurred there as well, only the image froze as soon as I built the arcade machine.

#

in that case reach out to support using the link i posted above and they'll be able to take a look.

Also here, didnt even know there are Mods for this game. I only use blueprints from the workshop ofcourse. And a lot. 😅

A person on Reddit who has the same problems/crashes, was writing this;

YES.. I had this issue... game was crashing when it was unpaused and I got near the entrance to my arcade.. I did a ton of testing to find the culprit.. it was definitely due to the number of machines I placed but it was only happening on my main PC.. my big boy.. it didn't happen with my friends when they loaded the park, nor did it happen on my secondary lower end Server PC. What I found out.. was that it was my graphics settings in game. I had an Nvidia card... but I was using AMD FSR. (It just looked better in my opinion with that) I changed the graphics preset to High.. it worked fine.. no issues.. I then changed to Ultra.. still worked great.. didn't crash.. so I then changed to DLSS instead of AMD FSR (SInce High and Ultra were using TAA and it felt laggy) DLSS .. no crash.. it was definitely the issue of using AMD FSR. So.. try changing yoru graphics settings in game to a default preset like Medium, High, Ultra (depending on your card)

I can confirm the problem is in the graphics.
When switchting to a Normal Graphics Preset and then switch to NVIDIA DLSS with DLAA is the only way to make it work, for me for now.
All the other graphics options don’t work, so the game will crash.

Thanks, it was indeed due to AMD FSR. I turned that off and then the game stopped crashing.

#

It would be great if I could get the water problem fixed now.

This is probably an Intel ARC problem, as it doesn't occur under Linux but does under Windows. 🤔

#

I initially thought I had it under control with the driver downgrade.

there seems to be an item that causes a crash. it's a douplicate of the buttressed alcove. If you click the right one, the game crashes:

Is it new? Did not use this item in my park

will try that 😄

Can I just say how awful bad this update is?
It crashes all the time. When you activate the updated blue movement systems, the game crashes. When you move the cursor or use the keyboard through lights, the game crashes. And so on...
It’s nothing but crashes since this update.
I’ve had about 15 crashes today alone, for all sorts of reasons.

# oblique tinsel That sounds bad :/ ive didnt have any crashes so far but agree that the update h...

I didn’t experience a single crash up until update 9.
Only when I really pushed the game too hard.
But whatever graphics switch you use now, it has absolutely nothing to do with that.
I suspect that the new blue movement systems are also causing a lot of graphical issues. It’s striking that many crashes occur when you unpause the world, and the movement systems start playing via the sequencers.
But so many more things. The game isn't playable at this time.

Still no fix upcoming for all those crashes.
Already two weeks the game became unplayable for me on PC. I'm on the point to delete the whole game now, because at so many points, and unlogical points the game will crash. Can I uninstall the update 9 too?

I think its only on devices with NVIDIA RTX 3080 or that kind of family graphic cards.
But even if only model graphic card is struggling, the game still became unplayable. Paid a game anno 2026 with DLCs but a non working game. Very bad in my opinion.

Even without arcades placed or anything else, in a large park the game will crash. Its something deeper about update 9. Not only the arcades.

Even after removing the complete arcade zone it will crash. So underwater the game is having big issues with arcade zones.

Also hotfix 13.. doesnt fix the crashes with the arcades on nvidia 3080 cards.
Bye bye Frontier.
