Game crashes when casting spell.
PlayStation. Maybe other platforms too.

Someone on Xbox also reported the issue.

Also (still) crashing on Nintendo Switch. More observations:
- Shadow Wraith’s spell doesn’t even need to be charged, the game crashes just by tapping on Shadow Wraith’s card AT ALL during battle.
- The crash occurs generally, in any/all game modes, regardless of whether the Shadow Wraith is on the player’s or cpu side’s team.

I had this happen to me yesterday, on PS4, in the Underspire. I didn’t recognise the troop when I summoned one – I’m using a Vash’Dagon team with a Hero who has the Karakoth exploder/summoner weapon – so I clicked on it to take a look and that was that.
The admins can tell us all they want that they have robust QA processes and “bugs can happen even so”, but we still see too many bugs that slip through for me to be content with the explanation. Or even for me to buy the explanation as being honest.
A single Underspire token doesn’t bother me very much. The underlying problem that this is simple (stuff) that should have been caught and fixed prior to release does.

You posted this 3 days ago. Just had this bug crash my game in Underspire, costing me a torch.
Playing on Xbox series X. Summoned the troop with Old Magus’ Staff. Crashed the game when I just looked at the troop.

Following up as I was told the fix was going out. Leave it with me!

~~Neither of these are Shadow Wraith.. but I have let the team know. Please keep different troop reports in their own thread, so this thread remains specifically Shadow Wraith crashing~~
My apologies, just ignore me!

I think you misread it. They used those options to summon Shadow Wraith on to the team which then crashed the game upon viewing.

OH GOODNESS!
I’m so sorry, jumping on first thing and trying to read a million reports should be a no go. I updated the report to the team! Think the fix was specifically for Shadow Wraith being on your team in the first place, and not when it’s also summoned it as well.. but it’s crashing either way.
So.
I’m on it, and sorry again.

Yeah, the crash is with Shadow Wraith appearing on ANY team (player or cpu) for any reason.
My guess is the asset file used for Shadow Wraith’s in-battle card art (assuming it’s a different file from the one used everywhere else) was malformed/corrupted and just needs to be re-exported / re-distributed?

yeah, the summoning part won’t matter. Currently, it’s probably just Shadow Wraith existing.

Can confirm, as of last night Switch at least is no longer crashing.
