New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on September 28, 2021) follows:
The Division 2 is an online-only RPG game that is set in the near future. It is the sequel to the 2016 Tom Clancy’s The Division.
The story expands on the original game and explores a world that is affected by a deadly virus known as “Green Poison” spread across the world. The game was positively received by the majority of critics and players.
It is developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. The game makes use of the Snowdrop engine and is available on both PC as well as consoles.
The Division 2 is a commercial success and has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. Thanks to Ubisoft constantly updating the game with new content, The Divison 2 has a healthy player base.
Having said that, the online-only nature of the game and the frequent updates have often resulted in players experiencing issues with the game.
An example of the same is the recent issue where players reported missing characters and the game loading screen getting stuck at 9% for many.
Unsurprisingly, it looks like players are facing another issue with the game. Many say that they are experiencing random crashes every 5-10 minutes when playing The Division 2.
The reports suggest that the issue surfaced after the latest update. Sometimes the game is simply not responding while other times the game freezes and sends players back to the desktop without any errors.
Players say they have tried verifying files, reinstalling and redownloading the game, even updating graphic drivers, but nothing seems to help right now.
As it turns out, Ubisoft still hasn’t acknowledged the issue. We hope Ubisoft fixes The Division 2 crashing issue as soon as possible.
When they come up with a patch or have to say something about the crashes, we will let update this space to reflect the same.
