One line summary of your issue
Freezing After Mission Complete Confirmation Screen *Fix*

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
*Found a FIX for my system at least*

A crash that happens to some "lower-end" CPU users complete the "3 Years Later" mission (or any mission). The crash occurs when the player (at the end of a mission) Confirms the Salvage on the last page of the debrief. This results in a black screen and some ambient sounds playing however, the game will crash.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Finish a mission and confirm your salvage. I have an easier time it seems to load-into non-mission screens (aka Just the Leopard).

*FIXED-ISH*

So before I run the game I activate Cortex Game Booster and in the main menu I activate Windows Game Booster. This fixes my issues mostly; allowing me to run multiple missions before having to restart again.

Example: Got past 3 Years Later (finally), Did a side-mission and got past the Confirm screen again, Lastly I did... whatever the mission is with the Argo on the moon. The cut-scene played and then crashed upon loading into the Holo scene with everyone.

So I restarted my game and loaded into my old save I made RIGHT BEFORE entering the Argo on the Moon Mission. This time I canceled the Cut-Scene and it loaded.

Now I have tried so many different things to get this to work I literally think I lost my mind somewhere.

Again this works for me I have no idea if it will work for others but I am running a really crappy laptop so give it a shot.

System Specs
HP DV6 AMD A8-3520M / 6gb (I KNOW) VRAM
AMD 6620g APU Graphics (with latest :2015 lel Driver).

I'm going to list every single thing I have tried in a reply so enjoy that. This is ridiculous.

*Forgot to mention I'm Running it in Admin Mode AND Win 7 Compatibility*

My promised list of different methods to fix this ridiculous BUG. These are my FAILED attempts.

Winowed Mode,
Fullscreen Mode,
Low Graphics (pretty much always),
Vsync Always On in Graphics Card Controller,
The Force OpenGL Command Line Trick,
Restarting, Running CCleaner,
Praying to Keanu Reeves (Funnily Actually Worked Once),
Ending The Mission Minimized,
Renaming the Video File Fix,
^Repeat those probably 20 times (definition of insanity I guess?),
Making my page File 200000mb (yup) -Did not work at all,
Tried D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_SINGLETHREADED - Still Nothing,
Debating selling my collection of Guitars to buy a new PC -Still debating...,
And many more I blacked out on.

Needless to say just do EVERYTHING you can to reduce the amount of *bleep* running in the background. You WILL still crash but you can control it (assuming this works for you).

If in the future I crash beyond repair I will notify everyone but for now I can finally sleep... after I play MORE BATTLETECH!

Also HBS... I'm unemployed WINK WINK : NUDGE NUDGE : EHHHHHH??? Yeah Good Luck Guys!
