Resolved (Gamepass) Missing (Purple) textures and constant crashing.

[StonksExpert]

Summary: The game either boots up with missing textures all over which I can sometimes fix by verifying files, and if the game does work it only does so before just crashing/perma-freezing with the sounds still going, i get no prompt whatsoever and this happens at either map or battle at any place or point in either. I have already did a clean reinstall of the game (gamepass version), checked the health of my disk, made sure my drivers were updated and nothing was overheating, I also made sure to allocate enough pagefile just incase, still the same. i have no dumps i'm afraid as i get no prompt to upload any.
(and i know its not a hardware issue because i can run more demanding titles without issue at reasonable settings)

Thanks for your time.

I have also tried deleting the shader folder content and tileset page that i saw from other posts and it only worked once for me (besides doing a 15-ish GB download everytime i wanna play the game just isn't practical)

It would be great if you can send us screenshots of the missing/broken textures with the scene/map name. And for the crashes,
Were you able to see the crash uploader tool? If you can upload your crash to us we can check it out. Please don't forget to copy the Crash ID and write it here so that we can find it.
More info about the crash uploader tool can be found here.

Hello, for the crashes I sadly did NOT get prompted by the crash uploader tool for any of them.
as for the screenshot, it looks EXACTLY like the one currently attached

I had some suspicions (fueled past experience) that it was the fact it was a gamepass variant that was breeding ground for all the issues, thus I decided to get the steam version and lo and behold : works like a charm (not to mention I even added a good amount of mods, compared to the vanilla experience from the gamepass version).

My issue is resolved on a personal basis since I now have a working version of the game (steam) so feel free to flag as resolved, however I am willing to provide what information I have about the issues I had from the gamepass version (I deleted it a while ago though so i'll be working from memory).

It is worth noting that the missing textures were almost everything in the game:
-everywhere like: world map, battles, sieges
-every object: characters, armor, weapons, siege weapons
only thing that seemed to have survived was terrain and some buildings.

As for the crashes, they occurred very randomly and without prompt, the times I remember were alot of mid-battles, as the world map loaded, entering the smithy, while trading and a good portion of the times in tournaments, esp common to happen the instance I did a high damage attack with a polearm (oddly specific, I know) in both tournaments and battles.

Thank you for your time and effort,
cheers.

Probably some files got corrupted while downloading. Verifying might also fix this issue. Thank you for the update. Marking this topic as resolved.
