Hello anyone know what should I do after this broken crashy update as I try to install previous update but its not installing as u can’t install last update on latest update and I don’t click back up while installing this latest update as I think as always every update is tested and they work perfectly every time but now what can I do I can’t complete main quest mission as I can’t go to map chamber cause it’s crash Everytime when I go to that chamber
It crashes if you exit the merchant menu and if you enter map chamber

It’s trusted sources
Made by EMPRESS staff members
Bro now what I can do it’s crashes every time when go to map chamber don’t matter if you go while walking or fast travel and it’s crashes when u exit merchant menu now before this update everything was perfect now I can’t play my story cause I have to go that chamber 🥺 now what I can do
It’s not the files provided here that are broken.. The update is a problem for a lot of players the game also crash when you buy things in a shop. It’s not only for cracked version, the legit also crashes. So if you’ve done the same mistake I done (no back up) you just have to reinstall the game or wait for the next update (yes, I’m angry about this too)
you should always make a backup before going for an update
Bro for god sake remove this update otherwise somebody else will be victim like me who can’t even play HL due to guarantee crashes which he don’t face any before installing this update
..mine crashes directly after the startup warning message -.-
