I get a black screen for several seconds then the game crashes to desktop without an error.

Have exacly the same issue

Same here. I was able to play well until 1.04.

Crashed on 1.03, crashed on every patch since.

Have you tried not to press everything once the owlcat license passes?

My game crashes if I press the mouse or keyboard during the loading screen. It would crash before the menu scrolling finish too if I press the mouse too early.

Have you tried reinstalling it?

I ask, because my game is running.

Same issue here. :(

Same here.

Was running yesterday, with yesterday's 1.06; crashing with today's 1.06.

Also, BTW, incrementing version numbers would be good when you push updates, just FYI.

Edit: File repair through GOG seems to have made the game load without crashing, FWIW. So maybe just a bad patching mechanism.

the last two updates waited, until you stop playing. The ones before and this one did not. But doesn´t matter. I am glad for the patches. A reload is not sooo bad.

It seems to be working now, I did reinstall but I am not sure if that fixed it because I got a black screena after the reinstall too.

The issue seems to be that the game has horrible load times which makes WIndows think the game has crashed when it has not. And the game is doing loading during the black screen when it should be displaying a logo and/or progress bar. I had to leave it alone for like 10 minutes or so for it to finish loading, it was awful. I expect better of released games.

Since 1.0.7 it works again. No Reinstall.

I am on win10 and I have never experienced these crashes nor the long load times.
