I tired every single possible fix I could think of and google search for. On the 4th time of uninstalling and reinstalling I decided to just let it install into C:\ drive. I really don't like installing things onto my operating systems drive but what the heck, it cant hurt... I hope. Well since doing this I have not had a single crash. Played for 4 hours with no lag or crashes at all. I have no idea if this will help others or is even the root of the problem, but its got my game working at least for now. Installing demanding games not in the OS SSD is like voluntarily decide to hammer your own testicles. People need to study a minimum of computer science if they really wanna know something about what they are doing.	Posted by Holyspawn#2841 on Mar 7, 2026, 10:24:32 PM Quote this Post
