Game stops responding on Conquest load screen

33 votes

When I try to launch a conquest game, the program stops responding on the load screen. I have to tab out and close the program. I do not have this problem with the other modes. Just conquest with every faction same issue.

Launching the Conquest game, the loading screen appears, then it freezes without showing % level progression. After 30 sec the game crash and I'm back to my desktop. It happens with all factions alike.

Hey,

Could you send us a DXDiag please?

Have a good day

Hey,

Can you try to put all the graphics setting to the minimum and changing the driver from OpenGL to DirectX or vice versa?

Have a good day

Hello, I got the same problem with launching conquest on all factions (the game does not even freeze, just crashes). Other game modes load up normally.
Here is my save and dxdiag if it helps: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rV64k5bFDC2NvvDlVMQLiw0CQQofBrEY?usp=sharing

"Conquest mode never loading" (suggested by Spiros on 2023-06-25), including upvotes (1) and comments (1), was merged into this suggestion.

Hi, I just changed the graphics settings and it seems like switching to Low graphics fixes the issue. Game loads on low settings for both openGL and DirectX. The crash does not happen on High settings if I load up an existing save file that is currently in game (not in the new conquest map screen).

Now it works!
I try as you suggest to set all the graphics to minimum and change openGL (preset) to DirectX. Thanks Etienne!

In my case, when I changed from OpenGL to DirectX, the problem became less critical: in the same moments (when you finish the mission i.e. UI going back to the conquest map) the game becomes unresponsive, there is "Program not responding" pop-up, but when I click wait - the game comes back after few seconds so I can continue.
Before, with OpenGL UI would freeze -- actually I could hear the UI sounds when keyboard is used, but what I see is UI view that should disappear.

Unfortunately I am facing the same issue. Tried to run it in DirectX, which managed to get me through the loading screen after a minute and the game starts from the last save but lags extremely.

No... this not works at all I did turn to Direct X and lower the graphics and resolution all sort it but not working at all.
