Game crashes on loading/exiting screen for battles

[Nelson Hornblower]

I can sail in the OW without a problem but there are some battles, where I'm trying to enter or exit and I'm kept waiting on the "Entering Battle" screen. Nothing happens, just locks up the computer and I have to end task to close the game.

Please try to set Compatibility with Windows 7 on the both client.exe and client_,exe files (here \SteamApps\common\Naval Action) and also update the GPU drivers in case they are outdated.

There has been aslo mentioned this workaround that helped a couple of Captains:

 

A possible solution i discovered is setting all your ingame settings to minimum, including your resolution down to 640. then closing down any programs or apps you have running in the background, like everything apart from antivirus and steam, no matter how little power these programs consume. After a restart, the game usually works fine after ive done this, and spawned into open world. settings can go back to ultra and it should work fine for the remainder of the session.
