I’ve had no issues playing the game thus far, somehow I’ve avoided every technical issue I see reported up until this one that I can’t find reported anywhere else.
Whenever I try to create a new character, I get to the point where you choose what side you want to be on, and the game crashes to desktop with no errors. Sometimes the intro video will start playing and then the crash will occur. I thought maybe it was an issue with the videos in general so I tried playing them through the dossier but other than one crash there, they worked fine (I tried several times). I tried restarting my computer just to see if that would have any effect but it didn’t.
Upon restarting the game, a Resistance character shows up along side my only other character, regardless of which side you pick before the crash occurs.
