Game loads normally. Upon attempting to continue my currently running campaign, the loading roundrel(?) freezes at about 15-20%. After hanging there for about 5 minutes, a BSOD occurs, windows reporting driver power state failure. I can start a skirmish game normally, and I was playing this campaign on this PC last Thursday.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Attempt to continue the campaign. It has BSOD in the same place 5 times in a row now.

As you can see the bluescreen is in the nVidia driver and I see you have a very new one, less than a week old - first time I've seen it.

I'd almost bet that new driver is the problem, as bluescreens are virtually always driver or hardware faults. Try reverting to a December driver.

Will do so, but perhaps someone should be informed if there's a driver issue so that can be resolved.

If this experiment is successful then please do contact nVidia support about the apparent problem with their 2019 driver.

Good luck!

I had the same issue with new nVidia Game Ready drivers on my laptop with GF 1050ti. Issue resolved by installing video card drivers from laptop manufacturer website.

Looks like I have found solution to my issue. In nVidia control panel 3D settings change "power mode" to anything else other than "Optimal".
