In Progress [beta 1.5.6] Game crashed when trying to start a new campaign

[Shun]

With beta 1.5.6 released today I started to get a CTD every time I try to start a new campaign. No mods ofc. The game just crashes when loading before the culture choice for the player character.

Unfortunately I don't have any old saves to try to load as I used mods on them which are ofc not ported to 1.5.6 yet.

Same thing with me: New game, no mod (never installed)- crash when I choose a new culture

Where can I find the crashID?

After a crash you should be able to see a window that will upload the dump file to us related with the crash. After the upload you should see a new window that has the crash ID

Unfortunately, I don't get the window asking for the dump file upload. I tjust crashes to desktop, no error, no new window, BL just closes.

@Shun @marciocris @DJenxu1 can you guys try disabling PCF shadows?

I seem to have found a workaround:

If I start a custom battle, then immediatly retreat, and then try to start a new campaign, it works. I get to the culture choice screen, and can proceed to create a character and start a new game.

I never had PCF shadows on in the first place; plus I could start a custom battle without a problem. I found a workaround for now (see post above)

Yea, there may be different causes for this. Thx for offering help though.

Forwarded the issue to the developers. We are investigating this. Please note that if you can reproduce this please try to get us crash id!

Will do. Please note that I could reproduce the workaround I described above (in Post 9) three times, where it worked every time.

Are you sure there are no mods installed?

 

[Shun]

I have no mods selected in the launcher.

To be clear, I have mods files in the games/mods directory, but hthese are not activated in the launcher. Plus I validated the game files, which needed no update.

Edit: added some details

Edit 2: I can load the campaign saves I created using my workaround fineafter just starting the game. There is no need to first start a custom battle, the gmae just loads them w/o problems.

It would be great if you can delete the mods completely and try to reproduce?

Did delete all non-native mod folders, game crashes the same way when trying tho start a new campaign.Workaround to start a custom battle first, then start a new campaign works as well.

No dialog to send crash dumps or CrashID either.

No mods are installed and just downloaded 1.5.6 but it constantly crashes to desktop when I choose a "new campaign".
