:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

“Colonel Washington” cinematic after the “Seven Years War” mission of Act 2: Ice of the main campaign always crashes to Desktop after playing through. It never gets to the cinematic “Enemy of the Family” before the next mission “The Great Lakes”. These can only be accessed after restarting the game & playing from the campaign menu.

Colonel Washington is also facing the wrong way when speaking with Ká:nien & John Black, with his back to the 2 protagonists & facing his men.

  • 100% of the time
    (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Finish “Seven Years War” battle of Ice Act of Main Campaign
  2. “Colonel Washington” plays through, but crashes.
  3. The same cinematic also crashes when playing it by itself from the campaign menu

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

It should transfer to “Enemy of the Family” cinematic and then “The Great Lakes” battle

:arrow_forward: ACTUAL RESULT

Cinematic crashes & forced to restart from Steam. The next cinematic & mission have to be started from the campaign menu.

Another weird bug that occurs during this cinematic - Colonel Washington is facing his men with his back to the 2 protagonists when in conversation with Ká:nien & John Black.
