Sorry but having looked through those files I see nothing to try here! It frankly looks like a game bug to me.

Is this just affecting one particular campaign/career? Or you get this in multiple ones?

Campaign. I tried adding the event log but it wouldn't allow me. It was giving a Unityplau\yer.dll error with this.
Hopefully this may have something??

Do you get this in just this one campaign? or in others you might have, or start as a test?

Not really, sorry, the whole game runs via that DLL.

Gotcha. Thanks.

I figured it out. I completely forgot about the resolution for the Unity Player issue. I had to disable the XMP profile. It works just fine now. It has to do with the speed of the ram. I don't remember the parameters, but it would crash if your ram was running at 3000+. The age of the engine vs the age of hardware. Disabling XMP dropped my ram to 2133 and it runs on that speed just fine.

Thanks for looking.
