B17 Bomb blast causing game to crash

[Philip Mongeon]

This started happening since the last update. Whenever there's the visual effects of a bomb blast (b17 only at time of writing), the game crashes.

I found this to be occuring IF:

- i'm in the 3rd person (F2 view)

- using the F7 ground unit viewer and a bomb detonates within a few hundred meters of it.

 

Before this last update, i would literally zoom out of a ground unit and watch a carpet bombing run happen without a so much as a glitch...big FPS drop though, but it's to be expected when 96 B17's are unleashing hell and all i have to watch it on is a Ryzen 7 5700G, RTX3060 and 64GB of ram... yes, i know, long overdue for an upgrade LOL

 

Has anyone else noticed game crashes since update ?
