The game crashes right from the beginning.
The game crashes right from the beginning.
In the last couple of weeks I've encountered problems where games would crash right away or after just a short playtime. I've attempted various solutions and exhausted my ideas about what might be behind the issue. I checked the game files via Steam, tried launching from different starters, ran system diagnostics with Fortect, updated the GPU drivers, and performed benchmarks using UNIGINE—all returned clean results. I also used the System File Checker cleanup tool through Windows, but it became stuck near the end of about an hour and caused my PC to shut down. The problem doesn’t seem related to temperature, as both the GPU and CPU stayed at moderate levels during gameplay, and even with reduced graphics settings, crashes still occurred. Any suggestions would be highly valued; I’m only somewhat familiar with assembling PCs.
