Crash on save load

Crash on save load

Game constantly crashes when I load save after death. And I play on high difficulty and die often (this is only start of the game, I'm weak and suck).
I've tried perhaps any proposed solution in different threads - nothing helps a bit. Load succeeds for maybe 2-3 times and then it crashes (black screen, then CTD or, sometimes, PC hangs completely, only reset button helps). Crash always happens at the end of load process, when progress bar almost fills up. And no, patch 1.03 did NO difference at all.

My specs: i5-4690K (stock), 970GTX in SLI, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7-64 bit, Sound Blaster Z.
Game settings: Everything enabled and on HIGH except textures, which is ULTRA. HairWorks enabled. AA disabled.
I have tried: rolling back driver, reinstalling latest driver after DDU, altering GPU power saving mode in NV panel, rising process priority, disabling background software, running in fullscreen, disabling FPS limit etc etc.
Verdict: The game is 100% unplayable for me.

P.S. No, seriously, "I must try downclocking GPU today" ... Are you nuts, nVidia, CDProject Red? WTH? No game should be like THIS! EVER!

UPDATE:
Tried GOG edition exe (purchased game in Origin). Same sh*t. Crashed on second load.
P.S. CDPR support is shining bright... :]

Same here, Steam version. Died, choose 'load most recent save'. black screen freeze with audio loop of my drowning death.

i5 3570k no overclock. GTX970 no ovewrclock. 8gb ram. no oc.
 
I had that same problem. If I died, reloading = complete seizure of my machine and I could only hard reboot. I have a GTX980, and I play a ton of other games with no problems. Its just W3. They have to find a fix.
 
Seems like there is a "solution" to this problem. Do not choose "Load most recent save", instead choose which save to load (middle option). This time game will completely reinitialize (takes a lot longer), but crash won't happen. Works for me and some other guys. I know, this is s*it, but at least I know can actually PLAY the game... However, for me the game crashed in inventory not so long after...
