It really seems like the game hates me some days.
I tried playing but the game crashes after having started actual gameplay - every - single - time. When does it crash? Twice after just a few seconds… and twice after a more lengthy 5-10 minutes playing time.
So yeah, the game has crashed 4 (four) times on me during the last hour. I tried both Steam online and offline. Twice the game just quit without even the “send crash report” window opening up.
The two other times the screen freezes for a second, crash report starts collecting data, and then the game continues playing as if it needed to stop for a second to collect it’s thoughts or something. But the crash report will ultimately quit the program regardless anyway, so I have to reboot the game again if I want to continue.
The game crashes on me during any random in-game event. I could be running, walking, engaging in a fight - you name it. I wish it was as simple as saying “every time I do the locomotion with the handgun equipped at 50 degrees angle to the midday sun, the game crashes” but I can’t find any pattern as to why it crashes so often.
It’s funny because I have played this game on the identical setup (my cpu) during hours before, without any crashes at all. Isn’t that mysterious?
I wish I could point to a background process or service on my computer, something that eats up memory or creates a software conflict á la old school “shut down every program if you want to run this” kind of thing, but I really cannot find anything worth mentioning here.
Anyway, do with this post as you like. I’m tired now.
