Win7 (64bit) Constant crashing during level 2 of campaign
Just bought the game last night on Steam and I played through the intro quest and the very first quest of the campaign just fine. Level 2 of campaign is a different matter. I'm getting random but consistent crashing. No pattern at all, no warning at all (no stuttering, etc.) Game plays perfect right up until it crashes.
First two times I was in windowed mode and thought it may be that, so I switched to full screen. It happened again the 3rd time but this time it was a hard freeze and I had to CTRL-TAB to get back to desktop to close the program down.
Attached is a zip file with all 3 instances of crash logs. Thanks for looking into it.
Game Version:
Steam Public

Hello Esch,
all your logs show the same characteristics.
You run out of RAM and in consequence the game crashes.
The game runs with only 4GB RAM installed but only if this memory can be used by the game and only if not playing with too high settings.
So to play the game with 4GB RAM installed, you need to stop other memory hungry programs and reduce game settings before playing.
Then chances are high, that you can play the game without problems, unless you download very big and bloated Workshop maps.
Please try the following:
- Start Windows Task Manager, go to Processes Tab, Sort all Processes by RAM usage.
* Look for the ones using most RAM on your PC
* If these programs/processes are not required while playing, stop those before playing the game
- In Game reduce texture resolution in Options->Display Options->Texture Resolution
- Reducing the screen resolution you play on can also help to reduce the memory allocated by the game
I hope this helps and allows you to play the game without crashes.
Let us know how it went.
Cheers
