My game has recently started crashing every time I try to load the Gilded Vale map.  I had previously been able to enter Gilded Vale, but now every time I load a saved game in Gilded Vale, or load another game and try to move into Gilded Vale, the game crashes to desktop.  I don't think the problem is with a corrupted save; I backtracked to a save game that had never entered Gilded Vale before and replayed a portion. The game still crashed when trying to enter it.  I also uninstalled PoE through Steam and reinstalled the game.  That didn't help either; I still crash at the same point.

 

My specs are:
Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz 2.66 GHZ
4GB of ram
32-bit operating system (Windows Vista)
ATI Radeon HD 3870

 

I have attached my save game file within Gilded Vale.  This one fails to load at all; the other save game files load, but then the game crashes when I try to enter Gilded Vale.  I have also attached one of the output_log.txt files.

 

Thanks!

...I have the same issue (

I'm having a similar issue; every time I enter the Gilded Vale via regular means the game crashes. Using console commands however does not trigger this crash.
Attached is the crashlog.
Thanks in advance!
