Hi, Lionheart2
I had problem with 2 new update : Steel and Sword with Freelancer and Diplomacy Mods / Fix for all Combos with Freelancer.
Before I update 2 new files, I can play no problem but when I update with 2 new update, game had black screen only mouse can move so I bring up task manager to end task game.
Black screen had random happen : before/after fight , in/out town , run in map , talk with npc ....etc.
ps. I try that Ed97 suggest but still had same problem.
@Lionheart2 window mode had same problem.
@Ed97 Yes,that way only reduce time to crash.
I think, I found the way to fix it now, with this way I play with texture 100% for 2 hours without any problem.
I set frame rate to 80 and set render_buffer_size = 256 in rgl_config.txt.
Thank you.
Good. I do not know why it may be crashing, it probably has to do with several different factors.
I have this problem too, So I lowered the texture detail to 75 it reduced the crash and I'm saving the game after every event to not lose any progress.
Try running in windowed mode
