Summary​

Game crash either after hour of runtime or on save

Description​

The game will abruptly crash after playing for around an hour with no pattern leading up to it (most recently I had accepted a second war and about a minute after it crashed). The only thing that seems more able to cause it is manually saving which about 30% of the time will crash the game. This is frustrating since it means I have to rely on whichever most recent auto-save I had.

To note this is with no other apps running taking up memory other than discord, steam and other small applications and my system meets the recommended minimum system requirements

Steps to reproduce​

Start game and play for approximately 1 hour, manually save game. Will not always reproduce.

I've seen others suffering the same issue and can confirm looking at task monitor that there's a spike in mem usage just before the crash immediately after saving. I don't have any DLC, running at the lowest settings, and according to the minimum requirements my machine has enough memory so unclear why this would still be happening

I have same issue playing on linux. Typically before crashing game starts to lag - visible slowness of moving mouse.
