I recently installed the GoG version of SDV (1.6.8) on my girlfriend's new Windows 11 laptop. Copied over her save files (approximately one year old) and everything seemed to work fine.
But I tested with the original English installation. As soon as she switched the game language to German, two things started happening:
As soon as the language is switched back to English, everything works flawlessly again.
I tested these save files on my Windows 10 Steam installation (1.6.8) and Italian as game language, and I had no problems.
Hence the issue cannot be caused by graphics drivers or corrupted save files. I guess it must be a Win11 related bug with XNA, or something along that line.
I attached one of the error logs.
If anyone ran into this problem before and solved it, please let me know.

- The game fails to load any save file and crashes back to desktop instead. Same happens when trying to start a new game.
- The load screen will only list three of the four saved games
