Penumbra: Overture mid-game crash - JENS TAKE A LOOK PLEASE

[Bludo]

Is this a first time load of the map or a saved game loading the map? If a saved game try loading an earlier save, then play from there to the map that crashes.

Those errors and warnings are "normal" and should not cause a problem as long as the game is complete file wise.

It is neither. It can be loading maps that have been previously been loaded (and frequently is), or it can be brand new areas. The save files are not "corrupted" (nor should they be, anyway) because I have reverted to previous saves to check.

I appreciate your assistance Jens, but unless you have some other contrary indication, the shader system in this game's engine does not function correctly as far as my GPU is concerned. This issue is a progression stopper.

I probably can uncover ways to work around it (and have in some respects), but this game is not as compatible as the Steam system requirements would indicate.

If you're willing to provide me with an executable with debug symbols, I'm happy to help track down the issue. But from the amount of feedback that is being submitted about problems running the game, I think it's fair to assume that there are some integral issues with specified compatibility.
