    I'm playing through Arcanum the first time, as an evil tech dwarf. As soon as the ending cutscene starts, the game crashes to the main menu.
    You can probably imagine my frustration.

    What version are you using? Are you fully patched?

    How about the Unofficial Arcanum Patch? Have it, yes/no?

    I can look into your last save if you upload it.

    Yeah, I have the latest unofficial patch + high resolution patch.
    I'll upload the save file in a bit.

    That's one file. A full save consists of four files sharing the same slot number:
    • a bmp file (e.g. Slot0001.bmp)
    • a tfaf file (e.g. Slot0001.tfaf)
    • a tfai file (e.g. Slot0001.tfai)
    • a gsi file (e.g. Slot0001Finale.gsi)

    The cutscene launches properly in my game, so it's not the save that causes the problem.

    I tried it with 1.0.7.4 + latest UAP, without the high resolution patch. You can uninstall it and try again, and if that doesn't help, reinstall the game and try again.

    Then again, if you join Kerghan, all you get a short cutscene which can be very well be watched here.

    If you decide to defeat Kerghan instead, no matter your motivation, you get a longer cinematic divided into several parts, each telling what happens with a particular part of Arcanum because of the decisions and actions you performed.

    You would need a mean to kill Kerghan to see that cinematic, though. One of those methods is using the Vendigroth Device which, I'm guessing, you handed over to K'an Hua. Another one is chopping Kerghan with Kryggird's Falchion, a mysterious sword which is hidden in a cave in the Void.
