Wait, turns out I'm just a doofus - can't believe I didn't try this first. I ran Steam as an administrator and all my problems went away. Woohoo! Let's get going here. Thanks for the help.

I admit, I don't know what any of this means, but none of it looks good! Thanks for the help! output_log.txt

Hello everyone! Sadly I seem to have run into a snag already while playing... I have an older machine and I was worried that something might happen which would hinder me playing PoE, and it did. My machine is: HP EliteBook 8560p Win 7 64x 8gb RAM Intel HD 3000 graphics (the sore spot perhaps?) Intel i5 dual core @2.6GHz I have the game via Steam The game fired up fine, character creation went fine, the first battle sequence fine, but then, when I climbed up the wall to "go inside," the game seems to freeze at the first loading screen. It's been 'loading' for about 10 minutes now with nothing happening. I've restarted Steam, verified the cache, started the game 3 times, same problem. And to add to this problem, it won't let me save either. I don't know if maybe you just can't save in the first little part, but no matter how many times I hit New Save or hit F5 to quicksave, no save game file is created. So to "try again" I have to keep remaking my character, speeding through the dialogue, and fighting that first fight. Is there something I can do?? I can play Skyrim with mods with little to no issue so I admit I was pretty surprised when I ran into this issue!

wooooot

I love the name change and the gameplay, but I'm afraid the game is going to look too "new" and not have the magic of the minimalist of the art for Baldur's and Icewind Dale.
