Due diligence:

  1. disable any mods ... which you're not supposed to use for a reason—they frequently break the game, especially after an update. Also remove any command launch options / modifications.

  2. update your drivers, and OS. Use DSIM and SFC/scannnow to make sure your OS is healthy and check your drives and all applicable hardware
    How to clean up Windows 10:
    while on the internet,
    search CMD
    open command prompt using 'Run as administrator' option
    enter command between>< >DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth<
    Let it run till it tells you it's finished.
    Enter command between>< >SFC /scannow<
    Let it run till it tells you it's finished.

This should clear up any errors in your OS. Will it stop your crashing? Maybe, maybe not. But it certainly can't hurt. It sure beats reinstalling Windows.

I run this fairly often, and find that windows 10 is usually messed up in some degree.

  1. remove any overclocking or custom modifications.

RESTART or Hard REBOOT
(Shut down comp. turn off / unplug power supply. Prss power button for a few seconds till light goes out. Turn on / Plug in PSU. Turn on comp.)

4)If you're still having 'bugs' zip your save and send it—along with your bug report—via the support portal.
