during Some patches, i don´t have the problem at all. Then you patch, it re-appears. My gf experiences the same. I´ve seen on the forums over and over that it´s a very common issue that players have, although the game has been out for 3 years now. Is there no way of eliminating the crash entirely`? Last time i was told my pc got too hot, but i doubt my pc temperature changes after bug fixes.
Hey creepmeister!
Please be sure to take a look at this forum post as well as this support article:
Which of these steps have you tried so far?
I would definitely recommend enabling Debug Mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel (if you got an NVIDIA GPU), I used to have this issue as well and that fixed it for me.
