Game crashes when continuing story?
Hey guys,

When I start the game in Diagon alley and walk out to the door to continue the story, the game crashes. It exits full screen on it's own with a message saying to close program. I decided to just start a new game and rush back to where I was, but the screen is black besides my health and coins. Interestingly enough, in the initial cutscene of the new game I started, Harry was invisible except his glasses.

Any and all insight is appreciated. Thanks!

The game kept crashing in Diagon Alley without an error message.

I set the game to windows 7 compatibilty and finally recived this error upon the game crashing:

Runtime Error!
Program: D:\S
R6025
- pure vital function call


Will try to see if I can find a fix for this... but it's not looking good.

Edit:

Might have fixed it. Was able to get through Diagon Alley, the bank and a bit further in and no crashes yet.

Here's what I did, in the order I did it:

1. Run the "compatability troubleshooter" for LEGOHarryPotter executable which should set it to Windows 7 compatibility.

2. Verify integrity of the game on Steam. (this probably did nothing)

3. In the same folder as your LEGOHarryPotter executable, find the "redist" folder. Open vcredist_x86 and reinstall vcredist_x86

4. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017, whatever that was.


I have no idea which of these steps actually fixed the crash, but I have a sneaking suspicion it was #3.

Edit in 2021: I'm trying to play this again and I'm not having any luck with my old fixes. It keeps crashing. :/
