Hello again!

Unfortunately it's been a while since I've been able to actually try out what you suggested. So, sorry for that.

After patching to 1.05, I still run into crashes on a regular basis. Which is frustrating, since your solution seemed like a perfect match.

However, on the corrupted save front I was able to make some headway. The amount of files in *all* save folders exceeded 114 files (I think that was the magic number) and after deleting all save files besides the current save (and epilogue saves of other characters), I haven't gotten a corrupted save file since.

So, corrupted saves - solved.

As I suspected, your video card is the issue. The GTX 280M is capable of DX-10 only. (I feel for you. I had a DX-10.1 card myself. I upgraded to a GT640, but you have a laptop so that's not an option...)

Yes, Win7 (and Win8) will allow you to install the DX-11 renderer, but your GPU is simply not capable of executing the commands.

Lucky for you, the 1.05 patch was written specifically to address this issue. 😕mileywink:
