Kicked to main menu after blowing up the space station.
Game kicks me to the main menu after the cutscene of the space station blowing up, If I try to skip the cutscene, the game crashes, anyway to get past that? I'm playing on DashFaction.

Basically when the countdown timer ends after reactor overload in the space station level, it doesn't kill you but it brings you back to menu (which is bs)
The easiest way to get around that is to just load directly to the map immediately after the escape pod.
You can do that by opening the console (press the ~ key, next to the 1 key) and typing this:
level L18S1

Of course you'll start with a pistol after that command but you'll get your weapons back fast by killing nearby enemies.

Is the countdown still running at the point you it the button on the escape pod? If you cancel the timer (which can happen accidentally sometimes), the exact behaviour you're experiencing will occur.

The easiest way around the issue if you don't have an earlier savegame file to load and try again, would be to just grab the speedrun IL savegame files[www.factionfiles.com] - the Crash Site savegame file loads the game at exactly the part of the campaign immediately after the space station.

Also, drop by the RF Community Discord[discord.gg] if you're having further issues, we'd be happy to help you out.
