Game crashing

from Stardock.net Forums

The game keep crashing, might be delayed a bit with the new patch 2, but i have only played one game yet, so not sure about this. 
The problem seems to be that nvlddmkm stops working, this causes the game to stop, i have on 2 ocacions been able to enter task manager to close the game, and to check temperature and load on cpu, gpu and ram, no problems there, all other times(20+) i've had to hold the power button. I experience no lag during gameplay, the game is running on i5-8300H, GTX 1050TI and 16GB ram. My computer is relatively new, and i have never experienced nvlddmkm crash other than playing siege of centauri. The crash seems to happen between 30 sec and 20 min of gameplay, before most(maybe all) crashes i have just been using shift to place more than one tower. I have yet to be able to not use shift in a game, it's automatic.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

The game keep crashing,

I dont see any crash logs for you (the popup when the game actually crashes) - do you mean the game is just freezing?

I would like to make sure you are using the most recent video drivers. There are some instructions for doing a clean driver install and getting the most recent:

There is also currently an opt-in you may want to try:

If it still fails, could you post a shared link (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, DropBox, PasteBin) to your RunLog.txt from:

Let us know and thank you for your patience.

Yes, the game is freezing.

I have the recent video drivers, i have tried 3 different versions, all clean installs.

Using the beta i was able to play for 216 min before the game freezed. This time i was able to enter task manager and shut down the game, acording to task manager the crash log was open, altough i could not actually see the window anywhere.

Also, how do i load a saved game? I saved the game at around 200min, i can't find a load button anywhere exept from the same menu where i saved, but that one is grayed out.

If the save was made with the same version of the game when you go to restart the mission it will ask you if you want to load the save. If the save was from an earlier version of the game then it cant be loaded (because the stuff in the save isn't valid anymore).

Beta V1.03 makes it worse, it freezes within 5 min. Current version works as Beta V1.02, takes 60 min+++ before a freeze occurs, it also seems that i am more often able to shut down the game from task manager, rather than holding the power button.

Might also have a bug report, during endless mission i have noticed units get ALOT further when i speed up the game, it seems like my towers does not speed up as much as units do. Stasis hammer definitly does not.
