Description
Game crashes on "New Game" or "Easy Start"

What is your game version?
227,923

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
When I click "New Game" or "Easy Start" the game goes to a loading screen, then hard crashes after several seconds.

I have verified the game files, uninstalled/reinstalled, and restarted the computer and the issue persists.

Can you replicate the issue?
issues happens every time a new game is attempted.

Yep, confirm!

Installing Nvidia Web Driver (378.05.05.25f06) along with NVIDIA Driver Manager fixes the issue with new game crash

I tried upgrading to High Sierra over the weekend, and I can now start a game successfully. The pixellated textures I got previously were also gone.

In spite of this progress though, I am getting the graphics issues mentioned in some other Mac threads: washed out and featureless terrain, and glaringly white (untextured?) vehicles. This is definitely progress as the game doesn't seem to crash anymore, but a friend with the Windows version took a look and said it definitely looks wrong compared to what he sees in his game.
