    Sad to hear you experience a ;lot of game crashes. I very rarely experience crashes on a fairly old computer that is not always very reliable. I think in general it is not fair to blame DTG for crashes. If they know about it and can solve it they will do. I have seen that several times. But playing this game also involves your computer and for reasons we probably never will fully understand, the combinations does not always work. Keeping the system clean and fully updated works, as well as make sure all components are actually working and there is some free disk space. Wish you luck with that.

    No one denied you have issues.
    Nor that many other people don't.

    It's not always system specs per se, but also what else is on the computer (and console issues of course.)
    For example if there are windows open in the background, a youtube video playing, an anti-virus, etc... those all affect your game performance. As for console.... well 3-4 years is "good" for a console, so longer than that and it could be anything from corrupted disk to overheating. Have had lots of computers and consoles...

    If you're still stumped well... then "hmmmm"... because that just means "it's still a puzzle."
    Sorry if you took "we don't know what's wrong with your game experience" as personal.

    If other people are downloading the same exact game files and not having an issue.... is it the game files?
    Or how those files work on your system?

    If you had 10 cars fill up on petrol from the same tank and just 1 sputters and coughs, do you blame the petrol?

    If all or most of the cars have issues, then it could be the fuel.

    On the bright side, outside of a full crash it's rarely the whole system, it's more performance being hit by interference from something else so you can fix it without tossing the whole thing out.

    Folks might be able to help ya out if you provided more information. Quite a few tech geniuses here who love a good challenge.

    It can be hard to know what are causing issues. I play TSC most of the time. I am running with reasonably high end pc. When I first got it (new from Best Buy) I was getting a lot of crashes. My brother (who writes software for a living) diagnosed the issue to be an older version of firmware on the motherboard which clashed with the video driver. Firmware updated I stopped getting crashes. My next issue was stutter. I used Task Manager to see what was causing the latency. It ended up being a blue tooth headphone driver I was using in game. I uninstalled it and now use wired headphones. More than likely DTG checked all of their software using a pc with no other clutter on it. We ourselves (the firmware was a fault of old inventory I purchased new) can create challenges for software. Why even trying to multi task whilst using the pc ( we are all human and wish to make ourselves efficient) could also cause some of these issues. It would be nice if everything out of the box worked first time. I am afraid that sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. Give DTG the benefit of the doubt. They can not validate everything with every permutation of junk we labor our pcs with.
    Respectfully
