Game Crashes To Desktop At Start of Taiga Map

[AnAngelOfDeath]

As soon as I go to leave the train at the start of the Taiga map the game crashes to desktop. I've tried DX12, DX11 no joy. Any suggestions? I'm right into the game and am loving it but this is game breaking. Up to this point the game played flawlessly.

Playing the original version of the game not the enhanced version. GTX 1660 OC 6 gig.

Guess I'm screwed. Can't play the game. **** this.

Did you run a verify? Here's a user.cfg tweak that might help on Taiga.
"FOLIAGE
r_foliage_hemi_ao
r_foliage_shadows
These define the plant shadows. They are quite demanding for performance. If you'd like more fps with little visual loss, change these to '0' (they are originally set to '1')."

Thank you. I had run verify before and it came up empty but this time it fixed 1 file. Before that I had used Geforce Experience to optimise the game and between those two things the game works now! Cheers
