[Entering Engwithan Digsite Arena Sub-level causes freeze]

I'm having the same issue. Reinstalled the game, turned all my graphics settings to low, and still the engwithan arena sublevel does not load when I enter it. I get the black screen, the cursor loads, music cuts out, and I have to hard reset my computer (I can get the task manager to pop up, but it also freezes instantly.)

 

I even tried going into the sublevel without Aloth (I figured fewer characters = fewer things to process = success??) but it still crashes.

 

I can also go into the other areas in the digsite, as well as other places on the world map / port maje (loading times are slow, but not deal-breaking, and no crashes).

 

I'm using the GOG Galaxy version

 

and I am a little sad because Aloth's my fav, so it sucks to have the game blow up right when I recruit him blah

Try turning off v sync, haven't had any trouble after turning it off

Seems I'm not the only one receiving this bug. Happened to me twice now despite verifying cache and restarting my save file from the beginning.

 

EDIT: Alright, I found a workaround for now. Lowered my graphical settings to low and it let me transition into the level.

Did you turn off vsync?
