Crashes immediately after the second splash screen. There's nothing terribly useful in the txt file:

hey, wich splashscreens would that be? the opening cinematics?
Right after the "A J & M Production" screen.
normaly this should display the duke3d splash screen with the duke3d logo flies in. there is nothing special going on at that point so im quite puzzled as to why it should crash at that point. especially considering the a J&M production part is deffed in art, and the intro logo video is new.. the only thing that starts at that point would be the music. strange, but indeed there is not much info in that TXT file, is this from the eduke32.txt log file?
Yes, it's from the log file. I even tried to disable the splash screens via preload.con but it still crashes.
very strange, there is no reason for it to do that since everything at that point should be already loaded. could you send me the entire log file?

what might help is removing the autoexec.cfg file, it could potentially set a wrong render mode, maybe. i dont see anything strange so im puzzled to be honest.
i've tried many different settings, but i cant get the game to crash at launch. even in classic mode where it doesnt render the new videos it still goes to the correct splash screen.
Nah, that's one of the first things I tried.
But two things:
-It actually does launch in classic mode, but obviously suffers from some severe performance issues
-I tried the game on my old work laptop with an integrated GPU and there the game actually works in Polymost. I just tossed the folder via my network to the laptop's temp folder and launched it, so the contents are exactly the same.
i found that deleting the texture cache might fix the issue, i had a weird thing where it would freeze during loading out of the blue with no error messages, deleting th cache seems to fix it. i hope its related to the same thing.
