Crash to desktop

[Drakth]

I bought this game some time ago, and i was never able to play it.

I start the game, go to new game and choose either continue or temple of light (i think was named), then the loading screen appears for a few seconds and then *boom* back to desktop, no error message, nothing.

What i have tried:
* Redownloading
* Verifying cache
* Run as admin

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yes, i have my drivers up to date.

I've a I7, 16 GB ram, and a GTX460, should be more than enough to run it. Yet still crashing.

It never worked before :P

Move/delete the Steam\userdata\*********\35150\remote\autosave.lcgolsave file, start a new game. If you need your old saves copy back.

I'm having the same problem currently, except I origanally had the game running fine when I purchased it a few weeks back. I made it 1/2 way into first section and saved, and now it crashes to desktop after the start up screens are done. Maybe a new update is the bug? Please post if you run across a solution, as will I. And yeah, my sys got more than h.p. to play this title. Thx...

Sadly i was not able to solve it yet, i'll post if i ever find out how.

Hi guys,

Maybe I have found the issue right now with the crashes to desktop. The game will destroy your savegame after a short time. When you delete the savegame from the 35150 folder the game will still load the broken savegame from the cloud which you can not delete. But you can delete the savegame in the 35150 folder start steam in offline mode and you can start a new game.

In the first chapter you will fight against a boss after that the game destroy again the savegame.
Maybe this will only affect the first chapter I dont now. Try to google a full savegame with all chapters or spam the developers for this crap (sh!tstorm).

Try this solution, don´t forget to disable the cloud synchronisation.

I have tried the fix and savegames from the side. My game still crash.
So at the moment I have no solution for this issue. I think the best solution is to delete this game ^^.

Yeah, i just tried that, i can choose any level, but as soon as i get to the loading screen it crashes. Even with cloud sync disabled.

Hello,

I have tried the repair option on steam for the game and now it works, but i don´t know how long. ;)
Maybe you can check if you have all the Visual C++ Redistrubutable Packages (http://getintopc.com/softwares/utilities/visual-c-plus-plus-redistributable-packages-free-download/ you can also download from microsoft directly)/ Direct X installed.

You mean verify game cache? Or there is another option im unware off?

Hi, i seem to be having the same problem. I just started the game and died in the beginning, the the game crashed and now i cant continue since it crashes as it loads. Sorry to be posting, i don't have any solutions just wanted to be updated as the discussion continues.

[Drakth]

Well, after ignoring the game for who knows how much time, i tried it after updating to windows 10 and for some unknown reason it worked.

Well, for those still with problems like this, at least mine was solved when I deactivated vsync and triple buffer in ma options menu.
