Hi guys! Not sure if this was an old issue and has been resolved or not, so yea i just bought the game, downloaded and installed it, ran the game, smooth. Tried making a new game, was able to “choose my adventure” but it crashed right after i pressed begin which opened up to the “Prepare to embark” screne. It just crashes at this part, i tried lowering all of my settings but still no use.
Welcome to the forum, @StyxLarkin 
I bumped your user level so you should be able to upload attachments now.
Have you installed by Steam? If so, could you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth, find a file called stonehearth.log and upload it here?
But first of all, you should try checking if your graphic drivers are updated, by going to your manufacturer’s website (here’s a section called “Updating your drivers” with some useful links: Some Technical Stuff – Stonehearth ).
Also, could you post your system specs? (CPU, RAM, OS, Graphic card…).
There could be other causes for the crash. If lowering the settings has not worked it must be something else. Let’s check first your drivers and if that doesn’t work we can try other things.
