Hi there,
I played the early access when it came out in 2020 and I could easily complete it with a minimum number of crashes. Given I was playing on a intel 6700K Skylake with 32 Gigs of RAM and a RTX 2080 Super, coupled with a Samsung 960 Evo, Win 10 Patch 3 and Patch 4. I could complete the early access content on 4K.
Right now I'm on a 5900x and an RTX 3080, 64 Gigs of RAM, WD_BLACK PCIe 4.0 drive, Win 10. Patch 7 and I keep getting crashes. \
First I got a crash right after beating the Mindflayer ship. Just as the cutscene ended I got a crash. I was fine with it and gone back to my custom save. Beat the part again and skipped the cutscene. Following that I got into the early catacombs (btw. I couldn't find Shadowheart on the ground or in front of the dungeon door) and right after beating a couple of enemies my game kept crashing, while trying to pickup things or while moving around the catacombs. The last custom save that I did in the catacombs just greeted me with a crash every time I tried to load it. I still have it, if anyone wants to take a look.
Fair enough, I thought, maybe the save got corrupted so I started all over again with the same barbarian character. I kept making custom saves every now and then (I had no more than 4) and now I got a save that simply crashes on me reliably when I try to save La'zel from the Teiflings.
Can anyone please tell me that something is wrong with the save system?
I'm going to try and revisit my autosaves and see if the problem goes away, but I seem to detect a pattern here.
