I’ve been having the same problem for a while now. Even reinstalling didn’t work. But after my last attempt, it seems to work alright. Have been playing for an hour now, without any problems.
This is what i did:
I tried the repair cycle over and over, never seemed to work.
Reinstalling the game didn’t work.
Shortly after, i noticed another program on my computer crash, VLC media player. Still happening.
The game was installed on my D : drive, so i tried installing it on my C: drive. So far it seems to work. Had no problem yet.
In my opinion this means either my D : drive is failing :’(, or the game needs to be installed on the boot drive. Anyway, try this maybe it will work for you guys as well.
