I have the same problem. Even if I lower the visual game settings, it runs a little bit, but I can not see soldiers, horses and so on... And if I start the game as i usually do, it says "out of memory" which must be not correct....

Bump!

Same Problem here.

Temp fix is to uncheck shadows or set shader usage to none.

To set Shader usage to none:

Go to path:

"C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\cossacks\profiles\Cossack\profile.cfg"

set "ShaderType = None"

Save file, launch game, go options and switch your Profile to "Cossack" (You can do the same steps with your own profile.)

!!! NOTE !!!
In Display settings the "Shader Dropdown" will be blank, do not switch to any of the options and save otherwise you will have to redo the steps.
!!! NOTE !!!

 

This temp fix wrecks the Team colors however.

Cant believe AMD and GSC didnt even bother fixing this, take money and run mentality.

I cannot find the "ShaderType" line in my .cfg (it's a DAT file actually but I guess its the same), has it been removed somehow ? I'm also experiencing lots of visual bugs and "out of memory errors" when playing multiplayer with AIs (me and a friend with 3+ AIs crashes my game when first loading)

I have an RX580 + ryzen 5 2600 + HDD

I also have this problem. 
I start any mission and I have a black screen and game sound. This game doesn't work on any driver younger than version 22.5.1. This problem is known already for almost a one year.

I have News:

With ShaderTyp set to None an as long as I play no xxl Random Maps (x4) it seems to work. There are some graphic glitches but it seems to work.

When I start X4 sized random map there is the black screen with sound... Never loading.

I was able to enter the game when reducing resolution to 2K (I have 4k screen) and/or had to reduce map size.

Did anyone file bug report through adrenaline?

I am able to play the game on 1920x1080 165Hz with the newest 24.6.1 drivers without any bugs.

I had a few problems in the beginnig but i think the resolution and the refresh rate solved the issue

I have a 7800xt
