Crashing on Load Since Latest Update

[Brewbenz]

I played without problems as recently as a couple of weeks ago, but ever since the White Marsh II update, I can't load a game without crashing.  Also, there are some strange graphics issues.  On the opening menu screen, there is a snowy scene, but the lower right third of the screen is covered in pink boxes that sort of expand and shrink.  Also, when I tried to start a new game, all of the dialog boxes were messed up.

 

I don't have a save from post issue, b/c I can't get it that far without crashing.  Also, the forum says that my screenshot of the pink boxes and my pre-crash save game are too big to upload.  But attached please find the output log and my system specs...

 

Any help would be appreciated.  I'm loving the game!

Hey Brewbenz,

 

Welcome to the forums! Have you tried verifying your cache? I noticed some errors in your logs and that might clear it up. In your Steam library, right click POE > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache. Also, make sure your graphics card has the latest drivers installed as well.

 

Let me know if that works.

Thanks so much.  Verifying the Integrity of the Game Cache solved the problem!
