Some bugs around seasons 1-2

[Avis]

i know that my PC needs some upgrades, but i certainly dont understand why the game crashes at the same moments all the time?
1. Sage dorm. At the end i cant return to her room for end free roam.
2. After Caty's photos leeked on the Rooster, i cant enter to the Rusty's room (where he is sit ing with notebook)
3. After enteing to season 2 (where the game shows you what was happend previously on S1)
4. On Season 2 EP5 i cant go speak with Isabella (its optional) after night in her house.
5. On Season 2 EP6 i cant enter the room with Rusty (again!) to speak and start Pack quest.
And its just several of alls my happenings that i must solve to go trough)
In some cases (same locations with same npc's but another acts) game runs normally, thats why i dont think its a problem with my PC.

This is the first time we've gotten such reports, can you elaborate a bit more? Does the game always crash when you try to do the above? Do you get a traceback or is it a crash straight to desktop? Have you modified the game in anyway?

[Avis]

Always. At the same scripts. No modifications wasnt used.

[Avis]

doesnt matter what path i go to this, when i enter in that rooms (bewarded before) my game crashed. thats why i try almost all possible things to go trough)

i mean, when the scripted scene appears (in all variants of playthrough) my game was crashed straight to desktop.

I could avoid some scenes (like Bellas optional etc in my different playthrough), but now stuck in NO OPTIONAL (as i read from spoilers, pack quest fron Rusty notebook). That problems starts from patch 11 december that i noticed before.

First try verifying the game files and see if this fixes it. Right click the game on your library > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files.

You said your pc needs to be upgraded, what are your specs? The game engine was upgraded to 64bits with the Season 2 DLC and so it might not work properly with older systems.

made this several times

[Avis]

aand its 64 bits) and requred to minimum requirements for the game

[Avis]

i just must go to my friend, load my profile and go through. Then i save the game after that scripted moments, and can go on on my PC) i think its not normal watever config i have)

[dAAAMN313]

This is clearly a local problem on your system, I dunno really how to help you since you don't even give me your specs.

If the save works on your friend's PC it means there's a local issue on your end.
If you have verified, and reinstalled completely fresh, and it still doesn't work, the things you can try are:
1) Make sure you have the GPU driver updated to the latest version
2) Make sure the VC redist that comes with the game are installed and updated
3) Press Shift+G while playing and choose another renderer and see if it helps.
4) Press "f" key to play in windowed mode and see if that helps (if it helps, your GPU can't handle drawing the pixels)
5) Manually start the 32-bit version in the installation directory and see if it works better for your PC
6) Make sure that you don't have G-sync turned on, and that no anti-virus is modifying the files somehow.

Also, please post the content of the "log.txt" file here, so we can inspect it. It's found in the installation folder.

by the way, when i verified game files 3 (or 5?) times, Steam constantly try to download 122 files (10.5 mb). Maybe they are this VR redist that need for game properly work.

Did any of the solutions that DPC posted above help? I'm guessing you are using a laptop, does it have a dedicated GPU or just the onboard graphics?

Your system might be a bit too old to handle the new engine update.
