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.

    Couldn’t tell you what the problem is, but I once had an issue with BioShock. The rerelease to be precise. The game would boot up just fine and I could access the bonus museum thing just fine, but as soon as I tried starting the actual game, the screen would go black and the sound of after the loading screen.

    Couldn’t figure out what happened and just ended up deleting/uninstalling it because I didn’t have the time to fix it/diagnose the problem.

      Yeah I’m about to give up with these games as well and just not play them, I just finished a clean Windows install again and it still didn’t work, I feel like I’m going insane here haha
