Atlas game crashing on Xbox consoles gets acknowledged (workaround inside)

Developed and published by Grapeshot Games, Atlas is a massive multiplayer online game where participants can embark on adventures alongside thousands of other players.

Players can build ships, assemble crews and search for buried treasures or plunder other players’ loot.

It also offers extensive customization features, allowing players to build their ships piece by piece and decide where they want their guns and planks to be.

The title is currently available on PC and Xbox and has been in early access since December 2018. It is designed to handle 40,000 players at once with the map divided in grids.

But according to recent reports from Atlas players, it looks like the game is crashing on Xbox (1,2,3,4,5).

Common troubleshooting steps such as restarting the console and reinstalling the game haven’t helped either. Atlas players on Xbox are seemingly frustrated and wondering when the crashing issue will be resolved.

We have had Atlas since launch. We have always had problems with the game crashing 5 minutes after loading into a non dedicated server or private server and single player. Sometimes the game can be played until there are ships built and leveled up to around level 30 on a non dedicated server or a single player. Then it begins to crash after loading. The same happens while playing online PVE. It has gotten to the point Is to wear the game is unplayable. Not only does this happen on my xbox but on others in the house as well.

Whether or not its on xbox or Pc ill find a way One day. Till then im shaolin spider man on last oasis

We also came across a workaround that might help those affected by the problem. It requires players to log out before crossing into another region.

We hope the developers soon find out the root cause of the problem and implement a fix as soon as possible.

Until then, we will be keeping tabs on further developments on the matter and let you know once Atlas developers fix the crashing issues on Xbox so stay tuned for updates.
