Exceeding Object Limit Crashes
Starting from the very first day of our Frostpunk 2 journey, we were stunned by the size of some of your Utopia Builder creations, which sometimes felt to us as not achievable during regular playthrough. Unfortunately, as beautiful a sight it is, some of you were reaching out to us that at some point, their favourite save file is no longer loading, or the game is crashing with the following message:
Maximum number of UObjects (2162688) exceeded when trying to add 1 object(s), make sure you update MaxObjectsInGame/MaxObjectsInEditor/MaxObjectsInProgram in project settings.
This means that you have reached the limit of how many objects the game engine can handle safely, and the title will shut down.
We have had numerous internal discussions about how to address this issue, aside from regular optimisation work. We decided to share with you how the object limit can be changed manually through the game files. It should be used only as a final solution and only against the crash containing the above message. Additionally, we strongly advise against using this method on low and mid-end PCs.
Our team will look for less game file-intrusive solutions in future updates.
WARNING BEFORE YOU PROCEED
Please be cautious when applying. Raising the object limit may lead to performance issues, overloading your PC's memory and further unknown instabilities.
Frostpunk 2 was not designed and optimised past this point, and you should monitor your PC memory when playing. Don’t apply this change until you are experiencing the above crash.
Head to your local appdata Frostpunk 2 directory
Find Engine.ini file
Open it for editing
Add the following lines*
[/Script/Engine.GarbageCollectionSettings]
gc.MaxObjectsInEditor=100000000
gc.MaxObjectsInGame=100000000
Save the file
Launch the title and attempt to continue your previously crashing playthrough
*can be any value bigger than 2162688
Take care, ~ 11 bit studios Team
