Re: [PC] Game freezes in first load screen - Campaign
9 hours in... and the same thing happened to me. The Beacon mission. Saved during play this AM, all good. running pretty smooth, more than halfway to the beacon. Saved. Did other stuff, came back and BOOM crashes every time I tried Campaign continue. Updates, restarts, more restarts. Tested Multiplayer, it worked, then decided to say 'well, before I reinstall and everything, maaaaaybe select mission?'
BOOM - started right up at the beginning of The Beacon, and began running again. I lost some progress, but not much more than the time wasted trying to sort this issue out. Needless to say I will be hammering through that mission, maybe to endgame, in case there is some latent issue in that mission's save files/checkpoint code...
Hopefully this helps someone else either begin playing again, or EA hone in on the error at-hand.
