Crashes when I enter Back Yard on Campbell mission

Post » Thu Nov 15, 2012 6:26 pm

The game is crashing to the Windows desktop each time I click to enter the Back Yard map on the Campbell mission. First time through, I was trying to ghost the level, did the Granny/Distillery sidequest, sleep darted both Campbell and the uncle, dropped him in the dumpster and branded Campbell, and when I made it to the door the game crashed. All my autosaves up to that point caused a crash, too. So I reloaded from the start of the mission and gunned and bolted and knifed my way directly to the street Back Yard door only to have the same thing happen.

I had just reinstalled the game a few days ago after a bug (that seemingly came out of nowhere after I was playing through the Golden Cat) where the game crashed as soon as the title screen loaded. (First appearance of "Press any key to continue" after the company logos caused a crash.) I'd really rather not reinstall the thing again...

Any suggestions? I love the gameplay but overall I'm very displeased with the bugs in this title. :(

To any developers who may be reading this forum: I've just noticed that when I click on the "Go to Back Yard" option, the loading screen (just before the game crashes) says "High Overseer's Office" and shows that image of Campbell at a desk instead of the "Back Yard" as you'd expect. Perhaps that will help you debug this issue.

I've also noticed some weird guard and civilian behavior in the first floor of the Overseer building. A group is just standing there staring at the commandments as if their scripts were taken. If I show myself they react, but otherwise they just stare straight ahead, fidgeting slightly but otherwise immobile.
