New Game Crash

Hi there,

So basically my bug issue is that whenever I click on new game or try to load a game it'll "load" for about about 30 seconds and then just lock up/crash which has made the game literally unplayable :( . This has only started happening recently; I could start a new game and load to my hearts content before (not really sure what had changed, perhaps an update?)

Anyway the most recent crash dump is in there, they always appears to be corrupted as in I can't access them myself but I thought I'd attach it anyway.

Many thanks,

Sanguine.

What was the version that last worked? This is not a simple game-code crash, it might be related to video drivers or directX.

Hmm, I'd say about 2 versions ago from the latest, I've updated it twice since it started crashing and it's still not working.

My Nvidia drivers are all up to date, and I'm running Direct X 9.0c on XP 64x. Can't say anything has changed beyond the Kenshi updates.

Well I've managed to fix it I think.

I just changed the resolution from 16 bit :? (don't ask, I can't see 16 bit in the drop-down menu anymore after switching it) to 1024x768 @ 32 bit, seems to be that one of the patches had defaulted the resolution option - might be worth checking to see whether they default all the launcher options but I reckon it's a moot point now because the latest patch doesn't seem to have changed any of the options.

Anyway, this fix worked for me so if anyone else is having the same issue check and see what video/resolution option the game is running in and have a fiddle about.

Sanguine.
