    Hello, today I tried to load TSW6 for the first time since this past week's patch was released. I'm getting a crash to desktop every time at the initial loading screen, I can't make it to the main menu.

    I've removed all mods and restarted the computer. Attached is an image of the crash report I see. tsw crash.png

    Ahh, figures, right after I posted this I had the thought to verify file integrity. Three files needed to be redownloaded and now the game launches, something must have gotten corrupted in the update.

    I always do it after an update.

    Haven’t tested mine yet but it was a huge update, something like 106Gb which done over several sessions does introduce the possibility of file corruption.
