CTD Woes

Hi all,

After playing SH3 all week, decided to come back to view some lovely SH5 graphics. Unfortunately the software gods have other plans;

I have a problem when loading the game,if I select any mission or save it starts to load, then once loaded (and I hear the slight 'clicking' that usually indicates the game has loaded) the screen goes black, then crashes to desktop. I've tried this with mods on and off, I've even re-installed the game, error details below.

Faulting application name: SH5.exe, version: 1.1.5.0, time stamp: 0x4b8a9cbe

Report Id: b9956ea9-4fb3-11df-8784-a0a9f7decdcf

I posted this on the Tech support on the UBI forums, but wondered if anyone over here may have any ideas?

Cheers,

Sev.
