So, it Installs great, Run Setup Battletech goes fine, Run Battletech just fine, no loading issues...

Close Battletech (as has been suggested in random Mod and other online Help forums)...

Restart Battletech, create a new Career runs fine, play a few hours... goes great...

close Battletech, just fine...

Restart Battletech to see if any issues, goes just great...

Reboot system, Restart Battletech... 'sometimes' shows Harebrained logo, often doesn't... Game mouse pointer initiatlizes, black screen, no even apparent 'background' screen activity at all. Taskmanager does not show frozen/hung process, but shows 0% cpu usage, rando amounts of 'standard' size ram usage, nothing out of bounds to my eyes. No apparent menu changes or anything in background (can click rando areas where I 'assume' there may be a career/campaign button icon that just isn't showing thru the blackscreen....).

This locks the screen of the system to what appears to be the Battletech loading screen. On occassion, I'll see the top right loading spinner, but it's not spinning as fast as the 'infinite spinner' bug shows. It does nothing even after an hour of waiting.

Only temporary system control fix is to do a HARD shutdown, powerbutton 5 seconds. As even Windows forcing a shutdown just shows windows stuck 'trying' to shutdown but unable to progress.

Latest all drivers, even as of today latest Nvidia drivers, no joy.

Any ideas, folks? Have run crash reporter. Have re-run Battletech Settings and turned all items off/on in sequence and in full/etc. Same result. Doesn't change issue.

However, I can just uninstall/reinstall and it just runs great, until a system reboot. Sheesh.

Help? O.O

Thanks, folks.

It might be a windows problem. You may have to reinstall windows.

I had to reinstall windows recently to fix a problem and found a video on youtube by Trevor Nace called "How To Reinstall Windows 10 Without Losing Apps, Data Or Files". His method worked for me. I didn't loose anything with the reinstall. All my data files, installed games, website logins... everything was saved.

But my problem was affecting everything. This may be too risky if your problem only affects one game.

There is a very active modding community for this game and they strongly recommend upping your pagefile to 1.5 times the size of your RAM. This apparently solves lots of issues.

That said, your issues are definitely weird. This game is known to freeze at times, but you should still be alt tab away.

The game has a memory leak which a lot of the big mods fix by including a "memory fix". Not sure if that will help you, but it might be worth looking at the usual places for game mods to see if it helps. Even then, most folks reboot every fourth or fifth mission when playing BT.

Btw, also playing this game on an Alienware laptop with Windows 11. Ignore the prior post which looks like spam.
