If Endless Legend 2 crashes at startup because of missing DLL files, hotfix 1.0.120 is the new build to try. Amplitude's September 18 patch notes report a fix for that failure, alongside specific exploration and interface crashes.

The exploration fix covers an army ordered to scout a dungeon that dies before reaching it. Amplitude also lists three technical UI issues that could cause crashes. Install the update before retrying an affected action; the notes address these cases without establishing that every crash is resolved.

The same hotfix removes an impossible objective from chapter five of the Sandshapers' main quest. That change comes with an important qualification for anyone returning to a blocked campaign.

The developer says “you’ll need to remake a save”, but does not explain which save operation that requires. Do not assume an existing campaign repairs itself just because the patch has installed. The official note leaves the recovery procedure unclear.
