Launch game via Steam Launcher
Step 2
After game loads, select "New Game" and select difficulty
Step 3
Cutscene begins and game crashes.

Just adding to this and stating that my issues started with yesterday's patch. I've submitted a ticket to Saber as well but Nvidia and SM2 released updates yesterday and I believe one of them now interferes with the game launching. Before that patch, I found that running the executable file as an administrator bypassed the issue so I was able to play some.
I'd also like to note that I've followed every recommendation outlined in Focus' support thread here:


https://support.focus-entmt.com/hc/en-us/articles/21130442957458-PC-COMMON


And I've heeded the suggestions found on Steam forums and subreddits but none seemingly have an effect. It is my opinion that when the game launches and initiates the Epic Games client, that something is preventing the handshake to the servers and it simply stalls out.
Lastly, I'd like to state that the crash report tool is broken and unable to send reports due to an improper installation. I really can't figure that one out either. I've verified that nothing is being obstructed by firewalls or security applications. The game simply cannot load past the first few title credits and sits on a black screen until it crashes.

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
Launch game as administrator from the installation directory
Step 2
Watch intro credit cards (Havok, Warhammer, Saber, Focus, etc)
Step 3
Black screen - cannot get to menu
Step 4
Game must be forced closed or will timeout and self end after ~3 minutes

I pre ordered the game, and it was working fine last weekend. Then I changed the resolution and now it won’t work. It’s been nearly 5 days, I have all the system requirements and I’ve done pretty much everything under the sun to get this game to run. The update didn’t help at all

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
Play game for a few days
Step 2
Change the resolution
Step 3
Now I can’t play the game

​I purchased the Ultimate Edition of the game, but up until today, I haven't even seen the first cutscene, let alone actually played the game. 

After launching the game, all I get is a black screen, with the mouse cursor constantly spinning, and within less than a minute, a "Crash Dump Sending Utility" warning pops up. 

I can't identify the cause of the crash (as shown in images 1 and 2). I've tried many solutions from YouTube and Reddit, but none of them worked (including adjusting GPU settings, CPU settings, Steam launch options, firewall, reinstalling game libraries, etc.). I cannot provide the KSIVA code because I have never actually entered the game.

After launching the game via start_protected_game.exe, I get a warning pop-up, as shown in image 3. 

I hope you can address this issue with a new patch.


System Specs: 

Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H 2.40 GHz 

Installed RAM: 16.0 GB (15.6 GB usable) 

System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor 

Laptop Model: ASUS TUF Gaming 4 

Graphics Card(s): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU 

Operating System: Windows Version: Windows 11 Home Chinese Version 

Version Number: 23H2 

 Graphics Driver Status: Updated to the latest version

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
launch
Step 2
black screen without anything
Step 3
This Crash Dump Sending Utility pop-up appears.

I start the game and it loads for at least 10 min.

Then it even has FPS issues in the main menu. 

When starting, the video freezes and the sound keeps going, then the game crashes. 

I just bought the game and have been trying all the fixes for the past 2 hours. 

Highly dissappointed 

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
Start the game (be it via steam, launcher as administrator or whatever)
Step 2
wait 10 mins in loading screen
Step 3
start the game and be unable to watch the cinematic
Step 4
freeze/crash
