So, the game is amazing and I love it so far. But I have noticed that if I complete a secret project, the game crashes to desktop. What happens is there is just a black screen and the game goes kaput. I've tried different settings and multiple games with different techs. Anyone have any idea what would cause it or how to fix it?

Try to disable movies under preferences -> audio/video -> disable secret project movies, but yeah, its not really solution.
