EDIT - After trying everything there is, I decided to make a new clean Windows Installation and everything worked again. So the problem was a bad Windows installation. However, I don’t know why every single game stopped working specifically after the prologue and not before or after, but it’s fixed now.

Has anybody had problems with games specifically crashing after the prologue? It doesn’t even throw any errors or anything. I can play the game and even leave the game open **for hours ** without issues, or even start the game again and replay the prologue, but after that, all games crash.

These are all the games where that has happened:

Dying Light 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Resident Evil 2 & 4 Remake, Atlas Fallen, Fallout 4, DMC HD Collection, 4 SE and 5, etc. The only games where it has not happened are Mini Metro, Mini Motorways, and Universe Sandbox (none of those have prologues)

Some downloaded from FG, some from SteamRip, Empress, El Amigos, sometimes I even download different versions of the same game and end up with the same result.

The only “weird” thing I did before all this happened was doing a clean Windows Install. And the only weird thing I’ve noticed is that Steam has been really slow, but still, all the games are pirated so Steam shouldn’t have anything to do.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this is some sort of intentional fuckery by developers. I mean, the Spyro incident is pretty infamous.

      Then why is he the only one? Baldur’s Gate 3 is on GOG. This guy just has a bad PC or something wrong with his OS.

        Definitely something wrong with my OS and I’m currently making yet another clean install, because the weird thing is that I’ve played all these games before (except BG3) on the same laptop, I was just replaying them for fun.

        I just wanted to see if there was someone else with the same issues or something similar.
