Did something change with the engine these patches?

Craps out to Unity error every time once it's ready to display the scene. I've tried everything. Reinstalling, lower video settings, no lua, updated driver, different alts, scenes, novia etc..... Nothing works. Still the same windows 10 version I was running before. It was pretty rock solid. Worked fine Sunday and last Friday's stream with a full house Castle Atos bunny invasion.

 

@Radicus Are you running the Steam version? If so, try doing a file verification:
- Right click the game name, select Properties, select Local Files, and finally click Verify Integrity of Game Files

If you're using the non-Steam installer, try doing an uninstall/reinstall of the game.

Lastly, if none of that helps, if on Windows, try posting the log file the game outputs to, which for me, is :
%userprofile%\appdata\locallow\Portalarium\Shroud of the Avatar\output_log.txt

 

This is from the error log in the crashes directory. The rest of the file and output log are really long but will post if useful. It seems an graphics card problem but all my other usual stuff works and the drivers are updated. That's why I wondered if something has changed. I will install the non steam version to see if it makes a diff. I di a complete reinstall of the Steam version after verifying install files did not find anything.

I reinstalled the updated nvidia drivers and it seems to be working again. Funny thing is that the driver shows as the latest but it's from Sept 2021. Weird that it only affected SOTA. Thanks for the help Echondas!
