Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Trying to load a new game

So, I click New Game and the game goes into an infinite load state. Have to ctrl/alt/del it closed. Then a form popped up to inform Larian about the issue I was having also crashed when I tried to use it. All in all, massive fail.

Alpha version software is not at all optimized for performance; This comes (a lot) later in the development cycle. Therefore, D:OS is currently a lot more demanding for a system than it reasonable could be. People have reported 10 minutes to create a new game. But changing some settings seemed to at least alleviate the problem a bit. (Tips also in post previously linked.)

Regarding the bug report tool, see norbyte's post for a quickfix. Larian is also working on an upstream fix, but as it is 2:31 a.m. in Belgium at the time of writing, I think we'll have to wait a teeny bit longer.

Next time it loaded in 4 seconds so it was just busted the first time
