Crysis 3 crashing on checkpoint load

Post » Sat Mar 30, 2013 5:01 pm

Got a strange new crash with my Crysis 3 game. Downloaded it last weekend and played the first few levels no problems. But recently it's started crashing whenever I die and have to re-load the last checkpoint, with a 'Crysis3.exe has stopped working' dialog, error code 0xc0000005. I've tried the latest catalyst 13.3 beta3 driver from AMD, and also downgraded to the 13.1 WHQL release and the crashes are still present.

My specs are as follows:

Intel Core i7-2920XM
AMD Radeon 6990M

I'm running the game at the 'medium' preset, with a configuration file tweak to disable SSAO. I get between 40 and 60 fps most of the time, and as long as I don't die the game plays perfectly fine, and I was able to play multiplayer for a good hour with no problems.

Not sure if my saves are corrupted or something, but I've been through numerous checkpoints and it still crashes when I try and reload one, but not the first time I launch the game.
