### Issue Type (Required):

Other

### Issue Description (Required):

I hardly have this issue with the game other than today, the launcher loads up fine, but when i get into the game and press “space” to start the game it loads for maybe 5 mins or less and boots me to my desktop with a crash report, i have sent them in. i have tried clearing the directory in %appdata% and going into msconfig and changed the load up setting there, i tried messing around in the launcher settings changing the worker threads to various numbers and it still crashes.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Load up launcher as normal.
2. Click “start” and wait for the load screens and cutscene to finish.
3. Press “space” wait for a minute or so.
4. Game crashes and boots back to desktop with crash report loading up to be sent.

Same issues here. I have even tried every fix listed on the steam discussions, short of reinstalling the game, and my GPU and CPU are on stock settings.

I suspect this is happening due to AMD driver version 26.6.2 not playing nicely. Please try rolling back to driver version 26.6.1. which should help 🙂
