Shigekuni: So this is the second time - and I can now say confidently it's connected to Denerim.

After I save in Denerim, I can no longer load the game - either from the "resume game" or the "load save" button.

the game immediately crashes.

So this is the second time. The first time I took an older save and did some other errands (like the circle of magi quest) and when I entered denerim, I saw texture glitches, and when I tried to load my save, it immediately crashed.

I did install the ominous patch which changed nothing

herubinek7: I have the same problem. No idea what to do with it... not really sure if I will continue playing this game.

olnorton: Try loading another save first, one not in Denerim.
After that the Denerim save should load.

If you haven't already, make sure you use the 4 GIG Patch https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371
