This error appeared with the last update of steam, I am not using any mods
Not sure how or why that would cause this!
Please uninstall the game in the Steam client, and delete the folders:
C:/users/{UserName}/documents/Paradox Interactive/Surviving the Aftermath/ (Move any valued save games elsewhere first of course!)
C:/users/{UserName}/AppData/LocalLow/IceFlake Studios/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.
Then install the game again and try it.
All the best!

I did what you said, but the error did not improve, the screen remains half-way, when I move the mouse, the building sounds, but the screen does not turn on
(((
What if you make a new Windows user and log into Windows as that, and install the game there? Any different?
I tried but it still didn't work what should I do now is there a way to get the old update
You mean to revert to an older game version? I'm afraid IceFlake have not made them available.
But this will not be a bug in the current game version or everyone would get it.
Could you please attach here your output log and settings file? They can be found in:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Iceflake Studios\Surviving the Aftermath\player.log
Documents\Paradox Interactive\Surviving the Aftermath\settings.ini
AND DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
THEN can you please test the game on any other computer you might have access to?

settings.ini I can't post the file here I will write the extension as 'log' you need to put the 'ini' again
We see crashes in another game MarsSteam.exe in there, but none in this game. In fact I see no reason for this problem in any of those files!
Let me know if it works on your friend's machine. If it does can I please get a dxdiag and player.log from there too, for comparison. Thanks.

What if you manage your DLCs in the steam libary and turn of the bought DLCs (-for now) ?
@Beatrix26 not sure if you're still monitoring this thread.
Are you still having issues with this game?
Have you tested with a brand new save, created after the last patch was released?
The Player.log report does mention "SaveGameSystem" issue in the lines logging that a Crash has occurred, and I noted this save is from version 13x while I think the last patch bumped it up to version 17x. Perhaps it is just an incompatible save file version issue? 13x to 17x is a long way away...sorry if this is the case, I sympathise. Losing a long gameplay Save is a bummer.
Another suggestion is if the game/save load is taking very long, to bump down the graphics setting to Medium as you have a GTX 1650.
Or to simply tweak the ones that are resource hoggers like shadows, clouds, fogs and water reflection, or anything of that nature to a lower setting.

I just started playing the free epic version. While this thread might be stale, it might actually help someone looking for save game loading issues on pc.
Essentially, if I open the launcher or the exe directly, without going via epic, the save games DO NOT LOAD and just sits there forever w/ a non-filling progress bar and a clockish mouse cursor.
However, if I launch from Epic (which launches the launcher and signs me in automatically), the same save games load w/o issues.
Annoying really as I was hoping to bypass epic and the launcher [and even the intro videos]. C'est la vie! but at least my game wasn't just a waste of time!
