About 5 minutes into gameplay KCD 1.4.1 now always crashes since 1.4 Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

KCD running from SSD (Samsung MZ-75E500B/EU 850 EVO)

I don't know why it reads "Application Version: 1.4.0.0" ... GOG Galaxy shows me version 1.4.1 for KCD.


To add some salt...
Guess I will neither progress the main quest (due to the side quests "A damsel in distress" and "Rattled" still being broken and not updating the main quest), nor participate in the hunt for easter eggs this weekend, eh? But at least in theory I can get a different haircut now. Strange priorities at WHS. Game mechanics still broken too, due to stolen quest items that you can't get rid of (like Guild Signet from "Rob the rich, give to the poor"), but it doesn't matter, because in the 5 minutes before the game crashes, no guard gets a chance to search you anyways.

Salty enough? :p

Btw: does anyone know until what time the easter egg hunt will be available? I kinda wanted to give it a go...

Thanks for the endorsement :)

Just made sure it's not any mods that I've installed - or actions that I do in game. Clean, vanilla KCD crashes from standing around on the market place in sasau.

But... launched a new game and it didn't crash. I got all through the intro and to Rattay... made a quick travel back to Talmberg... everything without crash. So I guess the state of the game in my latest save is broken - no wonder, given all the quest bugs.

However, starting a new game in "Playline 2", it felt like half of the cut scenes and/or scripted conversations are missing now. For instance it went from handing the nails to Theresa straight to running away from Skalitz - nothing in between. Very odd. Hopefully I don't miss out on cut scenes in Playline 1 now too?

Frankly, with 163h into the game, I don't feel like starting over. I really don't..... :(

Luckily I found an older save that still works. I'm not exactly sure which quest event triggers the issue, but I have a hunch that it revolves around those mentioned ones, where I've been trying to dance around the bugs alot.

Active quests between those saves are
- Raiders
- All that Glisters
- - Rattled
- - A Damsel in Distress
- Green-Eyed Monster
- Thick as Thieves - Simon
- Thick as Thieves - Woyzeck

My suspicion would be "A Damsel in Distress" - the save that crashes has this quest finished, where the one that doesn't still has the objective "Talk to Florian" open. Not 100% certain tho, because I'm not sure what else I did between the older and the newer save. The working one was saved at the Monastary - the broken one in front of the Bailiff's house at Sasau market place.

//edit/update1
Now it crashes at certain quest stage updates - I just finished "All that Glisters" and were rewarded by CTD. Ah forget it - I give up and wait for 1.5 -.-

//edit/update2
Of course I couldn't let it go and hoped I could at least do other stuff, avoiding the quest-stage related crashes - but for me it's already back to "always crash after 5 minutes" - looks like I already triggered some quest bs. But at least I'm wearing a nice beard while my game goes down, eh? =D

Still can't play KCD.

At least the weather is going to be great this weekend...


Btw: anyone know if there's a statement from WHS if we can expect our saves to work again, or are we supposed to start over after more than 150 hours of play time?

1.4.2 seems to work again :-)

Marked solved.
