100% Crash Rate on Game Launch

As an additional note, I have tried the game on two separate computers now (A desktop and a laptop, both Win 10 64x) with the same result.

Hi @RCNBob! Thanks for the report! I'm looking into this right now. The crash you've posted in this message is helpful and I think I've found the problem, but if you're able to post your Player.log here as well, that would help me confirm that I've solved the correct issue. Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply! Hope this is the right file.

Player.log

Awesome, that was the correct file and very helpful, thanks!

I'm putting in a fix so that this won't crash anymore.

However, would you be able to post your newest save file (note: it may be an autosave)? It seems like there's something about that file that's triggering the issue, and I'd like to make sure there isn't a deeper problem.

In any case, once the next patch goes live, this crash will go away. You can also work around it in the meantime by moving your newest save file out of the saves folder as it seems to be causing the crash somehow.

In reading through suggested solutions in other threads, I have since deleted all of my local files, including saves. Apologies!

I was also affected by this same issue.

I saved my game and my computer ran into a blue screen of death immediately after.

 

Every launch of the game failed with an almost identical error after I fired the computer back up.

I made a copy of the save folder, then overwrote the affected w/ my last autosave and I can launch the game again.

 

Attached is the affected save file.

Edit: Also noteworthy, this thing got stuck in my Steam Cloud so it was a bit of a pain to get rid of.

Every time I tried to delete the file, it kept getting re-downloaded on next launch. I had to overwrite the affected file to get the game to launch again, rather than deleting it.
