BSOD - Paladin in Chapter 9

Just started fight vs the Scalebane Swarmkeeper casting hammers (spinning) and javelins (falling) on him when game crashed - all action froze and sound/music on 1/2 second loop.

Alt-TAB got rid of game but music kept looping,.
Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing.
Pressed power button on computer and BSOD popped up.
Log below may be the correct one, but not sure if one would have been captured due to nature of fail.

Hey…

Not sure that this log actually contains the relevant debug - the last entries look normal - i.e. not truncated or logging any game crashes…

It does contain a crash report from much earlier that could be involved - maybe the game trapped an error and limped along until it couldnt anymore… I am speculating here and it may not be involved, but the crash reported is substantial and not what I normally see in peoples logs… (line 592 in the file)… I also am not sure if this is actually the last log so this could just have been a problem in a previous session.

Not seeing any performance related issues in the log… so I am going to assume that isnt involved for now…

When last did you do a Steam game file verification? Perhaps the install has gotten messed up?

As this got to BSOD level, Windows must have some logs and the bsod errors should have some sort of trace that would refer back to the DLLs involved - that may give an indication of what subsystem actually crashed… Please can you check your View Reliability History & event viewer to see what info they can provide… Perhaps it could have been some totally unrelated hiccup on your system… A dxdiag report would also show this kind of info in the diagnostic section at the end of the export…

Also… did you do anything on your system recently - e.g. Windows updates, change drivers, install anything new? There is always a possibility that something new is either not working properly on its own or is conflicting/competing with the Unity Game engine and caused the issue… could even be something like a new gpu driver…

Nope, nothing new since last session. This has not happened before and has yet to happen again. If it does happen again, then I’ll treat it more than a one-time glitch and check files etc.

I wouldnt wait to check Steam game files - it only takes a few minutes at most and honestly, the Steam install does get messed up surprisingly regularly… especially if the game has crashed… Crashes obviously shouldnt affect runtime files but somehow its possible.

Steam files were normal.
