Necrologue - crash at same spot every time

[Mr.Poopybutthole]

So in Necrologue the part where Phillip avoids the first Turngait zombie, unscrews the vent cover, and crawls into the vent; the game crashes once it starts loading the next area.

I've tried getting around this by changing the graphic level (which I knew wouldn't do anything but worth a shot I guess).

In other Penumbra games I was asked to let "the application make changes on my computer" when first launching them, but when launching this one I was not asked this at all. Could this be the issue?
