As mentioned in the title, I once played this game nonstop for hours without any breaks (during the pirated version). Now it crashes after just a few hours, even with low settings. It completely freezes my PC without warning, and when I restart it, the fans run loudly while the case gets warm—unexpected since I’m not using it heavily. The only changes from my old setup were the case, motherboard, GPU, and operating system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's essentially a completely different setup. Your pirated copy isn't related to your existing system. Why didn't you condense it?

Indications suggest overheating, likely involving the CPU. Monitor temperatures during use.

To view temperatures within the game, open the in-game menu and select the temperature display option.

You might monitor temperatures by using tools like HWmonitor or alt-tab after playing, or you could apply MSI Afterburner with Rivatuner for an in-game overlay.

Is MSI afterburner specific for MSI cards or is there another option? Edit: hwmonitor seems suitable. I’ll give it a shot.

It works with most GPUs.
