Crash on start FIX

Fixes game crashing on start up

THE FIX

The game crashes with very high lighting

When setting the Lighting Quality option in-game to Very High you may experience a crash/freeze every time you launch the game.

Instructions

Go to the installation folder.
Open system.cfg with your text editor of choice.
Modify the parameter r_ShadersPrecache to 0
Launch the game and set the Lighting Quality option to Very High.


Alternatively you may just set the option to a maximum of High instead of Very High to resolve the issue.



I take absolutely no credit for this incredible fix, after looking for a while on the internet I luckily stumbled upon this. Hope I helped you!
