Game crashes when opening a game from main menu v.0.9.7g

Hello!
DxDiag.txt (119.6 KB)

The game has been crashing every time I try to open a game from the main menu. This happens when hitting “continue”, “Load save” and even starting a new game. The crash seems to occur during the map loading, when the loading screen comes up. When starting a new game the map selection and opening scene plays as normal, only crashing when the loading screen comes up after the video. Sometimes it crashes as soon as the screen displays, sometimes it waits a second, and sometimes it freezes and I have to manually close the game after waiting for a few minutes. The main menu itself loads fine and I can open settings and such without issue.

No mods. I have the crash .dmp files saved, but I’m having trouble uploading them. I’ll look into that

Just curious, have you ever tried to have it load (on focus) for 5-10 minutes. For me, I have it hang a lot, but eventually spikes on 100% CPU, the screen will turn black and then suddenly the game canvas is loaded.

First steps to try would be to verify game files and make sure drivers are updated (yours appear to be from December). Also, for some users, disabling any form of overclocking, including XMP, has helped.

If the issue persists, it is probably generating a Crash Log. These can be found in:
