Game crashes when trying to load the map screen

[smintili]

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue which many seem to have in one form or another, for me the game crashes when I try to load the map in any way, whether it's a single or a multi player game, new game, save file, doesn't matter, as soon as the game is loading the map it CTD's. No mods, current game version, no betas, validated the files already. Also tried various fixes that are being suggested on the forums or the web, no dice. Currently reinstalling to see if that helps. Any suggestions?
