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

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.

Dank, I'm in the same boat. Maybe even a bit worse. I've been out of PC Gaming/Building for a while. I'm not even sure what is "good enough" to run this outside of the min specs. I got a Sony Vaio laptop with I beleive an i7 Quad Core and a AMD Radeon HD 7500m/7600m. I can run the game, but can't load the dialog after the Mining Mission.

I don't even know what to look for or where to look for a decent priced laptop that can run this with no issues. (I don't care if I run on Medium settings even).

Pretty sure I have the exact same problem as everyone else here. Unable to advance due to Freeze when trying to go back to Mechbay, Barrack, Navigation etc. of the Leopard.

Game worked almost flawlessly until after the 3 yrs later mission. Also odd that on the first play I was able to go to mech bay and refit a mech, I was able go to the barracks and level my guys. But trying to continue is crash only.

I've tried every potential fix I noticed in the many similar threads.

It would be nice if someone would at least acknowledge they're working on it.

A different thread with same issues. In it, someone is noting that the Unity 5 Engine may not be playing nice with older drivers. I wishi this would be verified by someone in house. I'd like to know if I need to wait, upgrade (and what to get), or just refund and call it quits.

Sooo... the game has stopped crashing for me after i did certain amount of the story missions. Before it was around 1/5 for the game to successfully go in to a "3d conversation scene"/opening a bay that had an 3d model in it while on the ship/management layer. How the game has stopped crashing is that i visit Alexander before i do anything else. Somehow that successfully loads in the resources and after that one can have any interactions AFAIK. Sadly this character is not there at the start of the game. I will upload my latest save so people can try it if they want to. Saves go to folder: "...\steam\userdata\<userID>\637090\remote\C0\SGS1".

I haven't had the courage to go further in the story as i'm building up to get few heavies while the game actually works. Output_log is from opening the game, loading latest save and visiting Alexander and then quitting the game without saving.

how many story missions do you have to play until you get him?

how many story missions do you have to play until you get him?

Can't remember... i'll check from someones youtube series. First proper mission is the tower kill (after witch comes the three years later conversation). Second is Benefactor. Third is First Strike. After that he joins the crew i think. But i did one more after that as i didn't know about the Alexander "trick" straight up...

TL;DR; I think i'm four proper story missions in.
