Hrmm, Seems like there are still some Goblin’s in the system causing some problems.
For everyone who has this issue, could you please try the following.
In Steam, Go to the library and Right Click on Gems of War.
Select Properties > General > Set Launch Options….
Inside this dialog, could you try “-force-opengl” (like this picture)
If this still crashes the game, could you try either of the following (deleting what was there before)
-force-d3d11
-force-glcore
-force-d3d9
Please post if any of these make the game work, or if it still breaks the game, and where it breaks!
