Game crashes when starting a new game

[Logbia]

Anyone else has this problem also?

I thought I'd give the game a try... I start it up, and it crashes every time it gets to the loading screen.

This is a little old but this might help other people: If you are using Windows 7 64 bit, find the file called thebaconing.exe (usually under SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\TheBaconing you will need to check in your Steam installation to see exactly where it is). Right-click on it and select compatibility and set it to Windows XP SP3. Then try opening the game from the Steam client.
It worked for me so I am hoping it helps other people faced with the same issue, although this is probably only if you have Windows 7 64 bit and The Baconing.
