[Windows 10][2.7.1][BPAH] Crashing while loading, package downloads not helping

[Grockstar124]

Decided to get back into CK, but had the typical "crashes before reaching the title screen" issue, so I went to the frequently asked questions, installed and repaired new packages (this is before doing a clean reinstall three times), but the problem is still persisting.

I'm using all major DLC up to Reaper's Due, no mods.

I AM running the game on an external drive, but it has run other games without any issues.

The current game versions won't run in this little memory, I'm sorry. Unless you can get to say 4gb or more, please try rolling back the game to an older version as you would have been previously. You should also exit every other app and process possible.

Your CPU is just about at the minimum level too, which would make the game very slow even if it loaded. And you have an unsupported Intel video system! If you were ever thinking of getting a new computer, now would be the time ... !
