Same, have played on and off since initial release. Just got a new PC and same as you CTD on load of a save no matter if stock or TWOS? Have tired both my original Amazon digital install and from Ubisoft. Same result followed all steps I could find in the numerous posts. No luck?

I have the same issue since reinstalling the game this past month. For years I've enjoyed the game with WoS mod. I have 2500 hours playing this game, but now it's unplayable as I cannot load a saved game.

I can start a career, and play for hours, but if I stop and save the game, I cannot reload the saved game, CTD every time.

I recently also encountered the same issue while re-playing SH5 on my new Win11 PC. Every time after loading a saved game, the PC would crash back to the desktop. Very weird, it only happened on my new machine. My old PC ran it just fine. Sad...

After some trial and error, I finally found a trick: before loading a career savegame, delete the \SH5\data\Users folder in your game save location (e.g., C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\SH5\data\Users). Boom! You're in the game.

Whenever you load a save, this folder gets auto-generated again, so just remember to delete it next time. You don’t even have to quit the game. Just alt-tab out, delete the folder, alt-tab back in, and your save loads perfectly.

I got it working on the latest SH5 v1.2.0 + Wolves of Steel mod. No clue why this works—maybe some weird conflict with new hardware or Win11?

Hope this fixes your issue too. Happy hunting!
