Crash on load every time

[TurkishLips]

My game was running fine basically never crashing then all of a sudden it crashed this once and now every time I try and load the save kenshi crashes. Crashes for all save files, already reinstalled drivers, validated game files, imports, etc.

crash dump is in the comments

Please help!

Edit: Ive tried everything. I even factory reset my pc. Still crashes. I guess my kenshi days are over :(

That's a pretty common error that most everyone will have some of in their logs. It's not likely to cause you problems.

If an error is related to the crash it will be at the very end of either Kenshi.log or Kenshi_info.log, everything above it is mostly irrelevant since it was working and didn't crash.

My guide about corrupt zone files has some tests for other possible causes for crashes like this, I'd try some of them and see if any of them help you.

I believe the errors dont relate to the issue now because i tried to import without buildings and it still crashed. Literally cant play the game anymore this is really sad

Did you try the other tests in the guide? It's not just for corrupt zones.

Can you upload the crash dump? There is usually something to go off of in there somewhere.

Upload it to a service like Dropbox or Google Drive, then post the link here.

Okay, you've got rendering errors. First things I'd try is disabling mods, especially shader mods if you have any. You can also try disabling shader caching in your graphics card's settings for Kenshi.

Updating graphics drivers can also help, but you already said you reinstalled those, so unlikely to do much here.

You can also try this mod, which has helped some people with this error before.

Unfortunately I do not know of any other possible solutions. :(

All I can say is that they are from an error in the rendering systems, and that we've had reports similar to this error code that have had a huge variety of things that have been wrong.

Here's the error code if you want to do any searching yourself.

OGRE EXCEPTION(887a0005:RenderingAPIException): Failed to create rasterizer state

looks like maybe a directx 11 error?

crashDump1.0.23_x64 подскажите пожалуйста что значит эта ошибка и как ее устранить?

[Sir Tanne]

Curious if you found a fix for this. I'm experiencing the same problem. Persistent crashing, sometimes every 5 mins, sometimes 10. Sometimes it might be kind to me and let me play for 30 mins without a crash which is rare.

It's now become frustrating to keep launching game and playing waiting for the inevitable to happen again and again.

I've tried everything and the error in my reports are the same as posted above.

Appreciated if anyone can help!

I would suspect GPU helper programs such as MSI afterburner or something.

I had the same issue. I saw in my downloads tab that it was a disk write issue
