Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems 100% crash during load after tutorial area/farglow

as the topic says 100% of the time, after completing the tutorial area and going back to the airship, the game goes to the loading screen for about one second and then either goes black and stays that way, or just goes straight to desktop. I'm playing the D2D version of the game, which according to the version seems to be up to date with 1.03. video card drivers are up to date, using sli nvidia 8800 gts, intel core 2, win vista 32 bit. Searched all over but haven't been able to find a fix for this yet, tried uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling. Any suggestions to fix this are greatly appreciated.

When you leave Farglow, end the conversation yourself before it finishes automatically, and the cutscene should start properly (it has for a couple others that have run into that problem, anyway).
Have you installed the patch? I though that issue was suppose to be fixed (I think just the non-US Xbox versions are still waiting on the 1.03 patch).

Try running the game as admin in XP SP3 mode and disable desktop composition in the compatibility options (for Vista/Win7).

First Aid : when Div2 does not start or crashes

thanks, ending the conversation seems to have done the trick. I think the version i have is equivalent to version 1.03, It's the D2D version, and the patch doesn't work on it, it just says i have a newer version. So hopefully it came with all the same fixes. just been playing for several hours afterward with no crashes, knock on wood. Thanks again for the tip!

Glad you only needed the easiest solution. I have not seen this problem mentioned in awhile, so I'd guess it is mostly fixed in the updated version, but there are still some rare conditions or conflicts that can trigger it. Any patches would have to come through D2D; the current download should already be updated, but you can check the version number IIRC at the bottom of the main menu.


A belated welcome to the forum.
