Metro Last Light Redux - SPOILERS!!!

So I am at the point right after the church and caverns stage where you get back to the metro to rescue the chick and you have to crawl through the vents to get to her. It keeps crashing while I am playing in this area and I am unable to continue. I don't know what to do but I am getting pissed off. I don't get any error messages or anything, it just crashes to the desktop.

Same here. Looks like game unplayable.
P.S. Game keeps crashing to desktop in the beginning of chapter 19. Safe mode or restart chapter does nothing.
P.P.S Some nVidia drivers less compatible with game then others. 390.77 not compatible at all.

Do you all have a Nvidia card and advanced physx" on?

Then is a known problem. No bugfix available, but a workaround: You can either switch off Advanced Phsyx or in your Nvidia settings switch Physx from "Automatic" to "CPU". Both fixed it for me.

The only working option for me. Thanks!

For me, it CTDs right after the water cutscene after defeating "Big Momma".

I ran it on lowest settings possible, in windowed mode, with PhysX disabled AND set to "CPU" in Nvidia control panel, in safe mode. All at the same time, even.

It. Doesn't. Work.
This gotta be my 20th attempt by now.
Fuck this shit.

I'm here to report I found a workaround for my particular crash at level transition to loading screen.
*This is probably a different issue from the crash mid-level

As it turns out, there's a bug that causes, let's call it, "autosave corruption" to occur, in some levels more than in others. There is no way to recover from this that I know of, and you're still perfectly able to play the save so you don't even know it happened, until the level ends. The corruption might happen at any point throughout the level, and you'll never notice until you attempt to complete the level at which point it'll crash to desktop. It only seems to affect the saving process at the very end of the level. Everything else seems to be in perfectly working order.

The "workaround" to this is, yes, you might have guessed it - replay the entire level by going through the "chapter select" instead of the "continue". And hope that the next try at the level doesn't lead to another corrupted save.

If I wasn't so invested with the series, I'd have ditched it by now...
