Crash and Freeze immediately on game loading. Can not play

[Former user]

When I try to load the game I get the following screen: https://i.imgur.com/BsJQ4Lg.png

I can not progress or make any inputs from here. Game is totally unplayable.

First things to try:

1. verifying client files in steam
2. updating your video drivers
3. deleting C:\Users{username}\AppData\LocalLow\Freehold Games\CavesOfQud
4. launching it directly instead of via steam
5. unsubscribe from all your mods
6. rebooting

If you have an Intel HD card: Intel HD settings... "Scale Full Screen" instead of "Maintain Display Scaling"

If you have antivirus, try excluding the game directory.

The most useful file to me is the player log, you can find it's location here: https://wiki.cavesofqud.com/wiki/File_locations
