Warhammer Total War: New Campaign Crash

Soulefein

I'm really hoping someone can help me here! I have tried all (I mean EVERYTHING) the suggestions throughout the various posts for the problems with this game, and I still cannot get it to work.

Problem details:
- The game launches without any problem at all - no freezes, it's not jittery. Main menu is smooth.
- As soon as I select a 'New Campaign', it loads 95% of the final loading screen and then stops. It then crashed 1-2 minutes after reaching that stage.

Solutions I have already tried:
- Reinstalling the game
- Verifying the Game Cache
- Reinstalling and repairing the Redistributables
- Running in offline/windowed/administrator modes
- Installing each and all of the various 'Beta Patches' available through, and then retrying the tweaks mentioned above
- Updating my drivers
- Reinstalling my graphics card and drivers
- Sacrificing a lamb to appease the Old Gods.

I can provide a DxDiag report if that will help, but the 'preferences' and 'mini dump' folders/files are empty/non-existent.

My computer is a gaming laptop, with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M graphics card and only a year old. I have no problem running other very demanding games... But I would really love to run this one!

Please help somebody!

This is the same issue I have, I hope we get a fix soon

Further to this problem, the game folder has generated a preferences.script document, so I can provide a little more information!

Same sir.... same.

This is still an issue, can a developer please offer some insight here? I'd be so, so grateful for any assistance from anyone!

I have one, havent had an update yet, after the last fix from billy, I have a pretty solid feeling through it will be fix when the new patch comes out, becuase up till wood elves, it worked. I got 189 hours in it lol.

Soulefein

Haha I have 15 hours in it since last week and all of that has been spent either a) looking at the main menu or b) watching the loading screen freeze...

Same problem, bro. I haven't yet got to play the game : (. I have been trying everything.

Have you tried playing a custom battle? That worked for me, which really makes me think it's the game, not my rig.

Soulefein

I've tried everything mate, always gets to 95% loaded and then crashes! It's also not my computer - new gaming laptop that devours Witcher 3 on Ultra settings, so there's no reason why Warhammer shouldn't work..

Soulefein

Are any developers able to offer me some insight on this? It's been over a month since I bought the game and still no success!

RossyBoy

I get this as well. When i had a Geforce 670GTX the game was fine but now i've upgraded to a RX480 I get this crash. But the weird thing is I can play a custom battle no problem, but when I start a campaign it gets to 95% loaded and then crashed to the desktop every time.

I have this same issue, Able to play everything but the campaign, loads to right about 95% the goes to not responding and crashes, already have 100hrs+ logged so idk whats going on with it, any help would be much appreciated as i love total war and dont want a refund yet from steam

I had the same problem yesterday.

I followed Billyruffians instructions in an other thread.
- I deleted everything in the hidden AppData folder (preference.script etc.)
- Deleted a Steam file (ClientRegistry.blob)
- Cleared the Steam Download Cache (in Steam Settings/Downloads).
- Quit Steam and had to login again.
- Steam updated some steam-files.

After that I could start a new campaign.

antarusom

Ok well I'm going to try that, just removed the AppData and ClientRegistry and cleared download cache..

antarusom

Attempted what you said and it didn't work

Soulefein

I have attempted everything (literally, everything) suggested on all the forums and nothing works. I have 18 hours logged and all of that has been spent looking at the loading screen before it crashes!

billydilly

This i more or less what I did:

I also have a thread, but i havent gotten any responses either, so ive been trying to follow any similar threads

I may have stumbled into a fix, after fiddling for a few more hours.

For Nvidia users, try going into the Nvidia control panel and changing the power settings to "prefer maximum performance"

i was trying to fix another issue my computer has had pretty much from the start, a driver power state failure.
my computer has that power driver state failure whenever i get that load screen hangup, so i loaded the game to try and force it to test, and the game just started like nothing was wrong.

i loaded twice without issue, expecting the game to crash, and was shocked that the campaign loaded properly.

Soulefein

Ok thanks mate, Ill give this a try!

Try downloading the latest patch for total war on steam, I was crashing a ton in campaign and battle and i tried a bunch of different things to no success but, when installed the latest patch (6.1 as of 8/6/17) on dx11 everything worked great with no crashes or issues for three days now. Hope this helps.

Hey so I just bought this game 2 days ago and every time I try to start a campaign it will load all the way in but as soon as the map starts to show and the dialogue starts it crashes. I've tried dozens of the previously stated fixes with none of them working. If anyone could help me fix this it would be fantastic because I was really looking forward to playing this game.
