I'm having the same issue with the game crashing on loading. I can go back to an earlier save and load it successfully, even create new saves, but the game will crap out on me eventually. When I try to load the last save, it will crash on loading.

Never had this problem before and I did a lot of loading and saving (it's not the easiest game around). Issues started today while I was inside the orc/pirate cave on Cyseal beach, though I'm not sure it has anything to do with the location.

If anyone from Larian is listening, this is the chain of events leading up to current issues:

- game locked up during a quick save just after the orc/pirate battle inside the cave. Had to kill the game with task manager
- when I tried to restart the game, Steam wanted to update to 1.0.63, so I let it
- game crashes during loading the last save (not the one done inside the cave, that one apparently never made it to disk)
- could successfully load a save before the battle just outside the cave, so I went through that again
- made it past the static cloud inside the cave - making some saves along the way - before the game would crash again
- can't load any saves from my second run through the cave. The last save that loads is still the one just before the battle outside the cave.

Taking a break for now, hoping somebody from Larian will provide some good news soon smile
