Hello everyone,


I encountered three reproducible crashes which are gone now after uninstalling Epic Games Launcher. In all cases the cursor turned into a spinning circle symbol and Humankind.exe stopped responding.


1. When starting a new game it crashed ~25% into the progress bar every time (example log file -> see below)


2. Before starting a new game, when selecting AI competitors: either when I used the arrows to select a different AI or when I tried to change colours/symbols in the "Edit the settings..." menu


3. In the My Profile -> Avatar screen: when I selected a number of pre-generated avatars in quick succession. (crash after selecting the ~8th avatar, give or take)


Unfortunately, I don't have the log files of crashes 2 and 3 any more and I'd rather not reinstall EGL until the problem is fixed. I can provide a dxdiag file if needed, preferably via private message. Thanks for the support and have a wonderful evening!

I have very similar crash problems (post) and I do have EGL installed but not running - Humankind still fails every time.

We are testing a new build on a Steam beta branch, with a workaround that should fix the crash related to Epic Launcher.

Steam beta branch: beta_1.1.59
Password: HKbetabuild1159
