As I sit there waiting spiritually I see code loading then code missing which causes the hang up and code after words then the crash. since physically I don't understand code I can't fix it. With this not loading it puts a stop to these missions so hopefully it gets figuered out.

Looks like I had the same issue with Memories Europa mission, after video it would not load so I switched back to directX12 from 11 tried loading failed. Valadated files again filed 2 but masterful was there this time to place a being to dumb me down so I couldn't see or hear spiriually, while trying to channel to his following what was going wrong. I hexed him and tried re running it failed so I thought why not switch it back to DirectX11 and for some reason it worked. It allowed me to finish the Memories mission's, however I like this game too much for it to be buggy, so hopefully they can get it all squared away.

Hey, whenever a crash happens, please share the log file from %userprofile%\Documents\my games\Ashes of the Singularity - Escalation 

The file gets overwritten on a new game launch, so if you want to focus on the game first, just make a copy on your desktop and share it, whenever you have time for it
