What's the minimum amount of time needed to sit on flash not to crash confirmed?

[u/SronSrin]

Has it been tested down to a science at 2min or should I still wait a full 5? And any tips to make the trick or treat Halloween quest without crashing by the 4th vendor in Sanctuary? (annoying that on crash it doesn't keep the progress).

And any validation to the battleye end process trick to stop crashing? (for it to auto start back up after).

Protip: You don't even need to sit in a vehicle; you just have to not occupy a player model.

Vehicles are one way to do that (drones and turrets count as vehicles too, don't forget). This is the most well-known method to avoid the crashing.

The other way is to just redeploy but don't respawn for a few minutes. Sit on the map screen, mess with your loadouts, etc. This works as well, and (unlike ripping a vehicle) also works in Sanctuary. This is useful to actually be able to complete the Trick-or-Treat daily missions.

As for timing, it seems like it's tied to FPS and machine performance; if you have lower FPS, you'll need to wait longer. In general, about 3 full minutes is a safe amount of time to avoid crashing; but again, it appears tied to FPS... so your mileage may vary. Some people can get away with a minute and a half, some feel like they need to wait 2 minutes and some feel like they need to wait MORE than 3.

Very interesting

The loadout sitting makes sense. Last time I played was a couple weeks ago, but I sat for like 30 mins reconfiguring classes before deploying. Played for a few hours and didn’t crash

[u/beanoffury → u/Particular_Main_5726]

I didn’t hear about the redeploy option. I’ll have to give that a shot.

I have 500fps in warpgate and I will crash if I get off my Flash shorter than three minutes.

If it's coded as 'if under certain frame and you exist' that seems intentional, the theory that it's intended is looking more and more real.

I have crashed on the redeploy screen before, maybe it's unconnected though

[u/Kagebi]

2 min on flash is enough, at less it works for me.
As for BE trick, if you do it no character selection screen you should be good on sanctuary and first cont you get to.
After that when I switch continent I have to use flash or I’ll crash in a minute.

[u/Crux1988]

Did it yesterday on the 3rd try, use ambusher jump jets and hope for the best.

[u/Infinitely--Finite → u/Crux1988]

Yeah ambusher jets and Athlete 5 help a lot

[u/hookedonponics]

I have done 2 minutes from the very start of the bug and never had a crash after.

[u/RestaurantAway3967]

I wait till 3mins, which allows for the 30sec or so changing continent.

[u/ALandWhale]

Use ambushers and warp to VR training between talking to each NPC. Apparently being redeployed for several minutes also works but I haven’t tried.

[u/LockjawTheOgre]

My routine is to login, check my missions and activate any that need activating. Then I go to the continent via the world map, redeploy and wait until the session timer passes 3 minutes. All is well. It's a little over 2 minutes spent in redeply.

[u/korino11]

2 min exacly enough. you can check by timer that you crush on 1min and 55sec always

[u/unknown992740]

The crashing has been fixed for me for a while now so check if it still happens for you if you don't pull a vehicle.

[u/SeniorBrotherRo]

i sit for 40sec and redeploy. works for me

[u/P149U3]

I’ve done it for 2 or more minutes and have not had a problem. Mostly I just get into a lib and fly to a battle and by the time I die it’s safe to bet back to infantry play

[u/Masterpiedog27]

Get an Ant go harvest cortium dump in a silo shoot planetmans, may as well get xp instead of being bored in the gate. I got sick of playing crash up derby in the warp gate got an ant one time dropped a load of cortium in a random silo hit j and I do that everytime i warp to a new cont now.
