BATTELTECH - AMD Drivers crashing when going from Mission Report to the conversation

One line summary of your issue
AMD Drivers crashing when going from Mission Report to the conversation

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
After multiple times of trying to complete the first "real" mission against the turret farms when going "next" from Mission Report damage part the game loads for a while and then AMD drivers crash. The next part is supposed to be a conversation on the ship.

I have a crappy graphics card, but it's there with the minimum specs. The game runs without problems during fights and i don't see why it should crash when loading a conversation scene.

Game does not produce any error/crash files.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Pressing Next on the Mission Report after the first real mission. The conversation never starts.

Same issue. (also old PC, but above the minimum specs with an AMD HD 6670 GC)
Get the mission debriefing then a bit of loading. And after that nothing.

I re-installed the game and played in full screen. Same result. After looking at the other crashes i found that the output_log.txt seems to be useful and it had this on it:
"

Also attached the whole output_log.txt to this post and validated the local files on Steam and it was 100% correct. Reading through the output_log it dawned to me that there are quite a lot of lines of code that return erroneous results. Could it be bugging the game that i have Unity 3, 4 and 5 installed on the computer?

PS: "The referenced script on this Behaviour (Game Object '<null>') is missing!" is pretty hilarious.

I'm having the same issue, graphics driver crashes after mission report of the 2nd mission then the driver reloads. However the initial driver crash seems to cause the battletech game to hang forever.

Same thing here.

Same issue with amd HD7600

I installed the beta drivers that i found on AMD site and it seemed to do the trick for now. Next stop is the other infamous bug report of "three years later" mission. When i have done that mission i'll report if i'm stuck on that fun now. I'll attach output_log.txt here to be compared with the one that crashed.

Link to the driver page:
https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows 7 - 64

Beta drivers are at the bottom. These will change the catalyst a bit and with a brief look i can't fiddle with fan speeds anymore. I have yet to try these drivers with anything else so i don't know if something is broken now.


Edit: I managed to complete the three years later mission without problems.

EditEdit: Yeah the game still crashes after checking out with the mission loot. Tried -force-opengl too and it didn't help.

 

[FrUnit7]

Same here. Latest AMD beta drivers, nor any resolution settings allow me past the "three years later" salvage screen.

 

[Dankvader]

I reinstalled drivers, the game, steam. Nothing. Any word on if they are working on it or it anyone figured out a fix?

 

[Xaxius Colnier]

i keep seing them go through and selectively answer people who have below spec graphics cards telling them its because of the card but no answer for the above spec cards with the same issue so i dont believe them

 

[Ironcity67]

I hope... they got someone working on this.

 

[Breniir]

Same issue here, can't make it past the "Three years later..." mission debrief. AMD Radeon HD 6670. Might be time for a new GPU though.

 

[Steak_Battalion]

There will be an update tomorrow, maybe that will fix this issue for us.

 

[Lyrch75]

I had "ghost" installation of an older driver floating around.
Uninstalled anything with AMD/Radeon in its name, deleted the files, rebooted, ran CCleaner, rebooted, and tgen reinstalled the beta drivers from AMD

No crashes since.in game running about 20-35% CPU 30%memory.
Will hang for a second before a mission, with the blue circle there for 1-3 seconds, but continues on fine.

Out of curiosity, what is your card?

I'm going to try this with my computer. Sadly, it's older and I feel like I will still have the issue of loading the Leopard for the first time (after Mining 3YL). I hold out hope with seeing other people having better cards having the same issue. I'm looking at all options as I don't have the funds to buy a new computer.

 

[Dankvader]

No luck for me on this step. I am running an AMD Raedon HD 7500 though and probably should upgrade. With the GPU prices I was waiting until something was a decent price. It is bottleneck right now.

RX 560. Think I paid 150 or so for it.

My computer is getting old.
Asus 6Tdeluxe mobo.
I7-920 CPU
24 gig RAM

Gathering parts for a 4k beast, but needed to replace old HD6770 to carry me on until have budget to finish the beast. So stuffed a cheaper card in, made huge difference

 

[Dankvader]

Yeah i was just pricing out options to upgrade, but with 3 kids and a stay at home wife, I dont get much trickle down of cash. Tuition is up and the wife wants a new kitchen... I have to buy piece by piece when i get the chance.
