Crashing on loading/starting world

[InfecteD_Sith 1]

Wanted to try the new version (0.21) today, but when I try to either load one of the scenarios or generate a new explore world the game crashes.

The main menu works fine.

 

Error.log points to this: 
nvwgf2umx.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
  in module nvwgf2umx.dll at 0033:3417d27f.

Another (maybe) interesting this from that log: 

Read from location 00000000 caused an access violation.

 

Some stuff from output_log.txt that might be interesting:

========== END OF STACKTRACE ===========

**** Crash! ****

 

Some more from output_log.txt that might just be random junk because the game is in early access:

A script behaviour (probably ylands.HistogramVisualizer?) has a different serialization layout when loading. (Read -100662743 bytes but expected 524 bytes)
Did you #ifdef UNITY_EDITOR a section of your serialized properties in any of your scripts?

We are sorry to hear that you can't check the new content!

Could you please provide us with the complete log file found in \Program Files\Ylands\Game\Ylands_Data so that we can look into that asap?

Thanks!

PM'd the files

Hi, do you have up-to-date graphics drivers? Could you please send us your dxdiag?

[InfecteD_Sith 1]

Check PM

After Ylands crashed the first time I immediately installed the newest GeForce drivers since the logs seem to complaining about some nVidia component

[Barsian 8]

last update of nvidia was a little bugged... here is link to hotfix: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4378

i had same problems with other games

[InfecteD_Sith 1]

I can confirm that switching Ambient Occlusion from HBAO+ to none in GFX settings (as per Aleš recommendation) fixes the problem.

 

If your game gets stuck while loading the world this will probably help you too. Because Ylands doesn't crash and write the logfiles every time on my computer. Sometimes it just hangs at 97% with no error dialog box.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for narrowing the issue down for us! We were able to reproduce it and hopefully fixed the issue. We plan to release this fix along with some other ones later this week (your game will be updated automatically). We will tell you when that happens - it would be really great if you could then confirm the issue has been fixed for you.

Thanks again for your help!
