Game-Breaking Bug: The main quest "Into the Deepwood" crashing at loading.

[Vortyrion]

When I try to start this mission the game is crashing every time during the loading screen. Try reaching it with different saves and choices, the result is the same.

I have only this mission on the map, it's part of the main progression and I can't skip it.
If there isn't fix for this the game is busted for me.

Can you attach the save file along with log.txt, KA_KT.txt and crashdump.dmp into google drive for example.
Are you playing with mods?

I don't use any mods or alterations.
Here can be be found a save file along with log.txt, KA_KT.txt:

I'm not sure when tho find the crashdump.dmp. Every time the game is crashing on this loading screen such report is created and send, but like I said don't know where to find it on my PC.

*******Could you try changing the game language from the in-game options to something else and then try loading the save.

Your save is not corrupted as it is loading just fine. Try verifying your game files:
- right click on KAKT in steam library > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files. If that doesn't work just backup your saves if you're not using cloud save and make a fresh install. Are you using steam cloud save or are you loading locally?


Have you checked your hdd/ssd for errors? Most brands provide software on their websites with which you can run a check. Maybe try changing the installation folder on a different hdd/ssd drive if you have more than 1 in your system.

Perhaps you got memory leaks. Try closing memory heavy background processes like your web browser for example and you can also try using Reduce Memory which frees up wasted memory - https://www.sordum.org/9197/reduce-memory-v1-6/

Thank you for the assistance, much appreciate it.
Verifying the integrity of game files didn't not help.
Reinstalling the game on different SSD solved my issue. Don't know if it's something with the SSD or just reinstalling the game. The Samsung Magician at least don't show an issue.
