Brand new install off of steam

[LugNutz454]

Just bought the game, brand new install.. yes it locks up immediately after it loads..

Since updating, the game crashes shortly after everything is loaded. It happens even if I start a new game.
You need to re-install fresh, make sure to delete all your old kenshi folder first (or it wo), and back up your saves.

yes that is the fix, brand new install, wonderful, thanks.

yes I read the sticky, thank you.
