Games crashing after the prologue? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Dumb question, but your gpu drivers are up to date correct?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, every driver is up to date. In fact I just did a fresh windows install once again, updated all drivers once again, and the problem still persists.

The games however are stored in a secondary ssd, so the next thing I'm gonna do is install them on the main, and some of them on an external one, just in case it's a faulty SSD.

If that's not it then I have no clue.
