Consistent Crashing At Beginning Of Chapter 17
Basically I'm at the end of my proverbial rope here folks. This issue has persisted since I purchased the game last year, 1.1 patch notwithstanding. Initially I contacted Aspyr technical support, and they were utterly useless.
Essentially, the game consistently crashes to desktop at the the beginning of Chapter 17 ( Chronos ). It does not behave in this manner at ANY other point during the game. I receive the following error message: Quote:

I assume you're loading the save game from chapter 16, move to the point where next level loads, and the game crashes while loading? Hmm, did you try to load an earlier save, for example, from chapter 15, and replaying chapter 16? Maybe this error is caused by some internal glitch, not your PC configuration, and you're the first to report such one.

If i remember right, there should be a log file called render.txt or render.log in the game directory. Post its contents here, maybe it will help to understand what the problem is.

Alright, here are the the "abbreviated" ( originally contained 108,084 characters and the forum only allows 50,000 ) contents of the render.log file:

Unfortunately, there are no specific errors listed.
Just a thought, maybe the save game you're loading in Chapter 16 was made before the patch? Loading pre-patch save games in the patched versionof the game may fail immediately or cause problems during next load or level transition. Zip your working save from level 16 and upload it here, let's try to load it on another PC. BTW, you do realize that shaders 4.0 (and, consequently, advanced PhysX effects) aren't available on XP, right? They require Dx10. |

Well, i was able to load your save and successfully load the next level after entering the door. Here's the autosave the game made after loading 17th level.
If the game fails to load it, try to update or downgrade your video driver, including PhysX. However, i have an old 7950GT card, 182.08 driver and PhysX 8.09.04 (installed by 1.1 patch?) here at work. In addition, i have patched '505 games' version, not the patched Aspyr version of the game you have (they should be the same, though). |

You're not going to believe this, but your autosaved game dosen't even show up in the main game menu! I unzipped all three files you posted to the Cryostasis Save folder, so there shouldn't be any issues. It's like my version of Cryostasis isn't recognizing yours.

Look for a save named 17. Chronos, maybe this save replaced some of yours.
