Game can't load, when it tries to get to the main menu it crashes.

I read another discussion where the user was advised to remove their saves folder and put it back, and i tried that and the game managed to load to the main menu. However, naturally my saves were gone, so I put the saves back in and the problem reoccurred. Please help

  • Having the same issue, tried everything in the book! Issue started with the newest update. I'm not OP but adding my dxdiag file here in case it helps narrow down the problem from the dev / tech support end.

    ETA: could launch the game and start a new save if my saves file was empty, but upon closing the game, couldn't load THAT save again either.

  • michy_ks​ igraine90​  Please remove your saves folder again, load the game, and create a new save; no need to spend much time on it.  Save your progress, quit, and move your old saves from the old folder to the new one.  Make sure to renumber the newest save, that you just created, if it conflicts with one of your older saves.

    Try again to load the game, and if you can get to the Main Menu, use Load Game to select an older save and play it.  If the save is fine, you can continue playing it and save your progress; it should work again going forward.
