Hi all, I´m reporting an issue with this game. After I run new game and after introduction animation, you walk on path in-between and than you´re sucked and tossed in area with Pallid Knight (before the character creation process). After I finish dialog window with dwarf and the door opens the game crashes - "green or purple screen occures, sometimes flickering of stripes" and whole laptop reboots. When I installed the game first time, I was able to get past the character creation process and get into game into first location on island. I could play a bit, but game crashed and rebooted the laptop every time when I checked the invetory, sometimes when I spoke to some NPC. I could play around 2 minutes and than the games crashed again. There was no logical pattern for the crash, no regularity. I decided I want to start a new game and from that moment I cannot get past the characted creation process. I have the Obsidian version of the game. Also I have the Explorers pack. What did I do to make the game work: - i tried 3 different GPU drivers, as I think it´s issue of card hence the flickering and coloured screens with crash. I tried driver from manufacturer of my laptop MSI (382.05), driver download via Win 10 driver update (388.18) and I also have the last driver made specifically for Pillars 2 (397.64). None of this made any progress. - I tried multiple graphical settings in the game itself. Changing windowed/fullscreen mode, different scales, different MSAA samples (btw there are stripes on screen if using higher than 1 MSAA), different frame rate on slider, occlussion, shadows, miscellanous, VSync - googled solutions on forums for the whole day and half - checking possible causes of this - Win 10, unity engine, game itself, GPU, drivers etc. and trying those solutions whether from developer or some user who found workaround. - reinstalled game couple of times on different drives C/(system - in program files x86 and D/ (special folder for Pillars) - I downloaded game via GOG downloader and done file verification check everytime prior to instalation. - I run the game with and without explorers pack and other dlcs, to make sure they´re not the issue. - I tried to run the game in compatibility modes for win 7 and 8. Also as an administrator all the time. I have administrator rights. - noticed I have almost similar problem like some MAC users in the same spot of the game and without the black screen, despite not using MAC and having Nvidia GPU. (https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97389-mac-unable-to-start-game-black-screen/) - contacted the Obsidian support for help as well. - monitored realtime temperature and usage of GPU and CPU by the game. GPU was max 50% and CPU around 25%. Temp around 60-70 °C. - my dxdiag didnt find any issues. All working fine. - I have latest windows patches - I ran the game in different CPU/GPU settings from Eco to Turbo(overclocked). No difference. All of this leads me to conclusion that it´s application issue, not my hardware/software issue. I had similar game crashing issues with 3 other games. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified and some lastest Total War games. Also Ghost Recon Wildlands were sometimes crashing once or twice in 10-15 hours. I could play PoE1 without any issues or crashes. My specs: MSI GT62VR 7RE laptop iCore i7 - 7820HK (2,9 GHz) RAM 16 GB nVidia GTX 1070 8 GB Vram all specs are attached in dxdiag. Also output log added. I couldnt upload saved games so here´s dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4h3n0350in0fquu/PoE%20II%20-%20saves%20GregoryBaltoro.rar?dl=0
