Hi @JohnCraven336,

Could you let me know which platform you are on so that I can try to help you further?

Also, moving this to the Technical Assistance forum, so that it's in the right place. 

Many thanks,

You need to verify your game files.

If that does not work, I would backup, uninstall and restore from backup, this does the first time install and repairs MS runtimes.

If you still have problems, reinstall Windows. Posting spec helps, just saying drivers are up to date is unhelpful.

Hi all, please note I’ve merged the two threads together as they are about the same thing.

Hi steviejay69
My specs are :-
CPU i5 - 4460 3.2GHz
Graphics Radeon RX480 8GB
24 GB ram
The reason I didn't post them is the game has played faultlessly since launch until late December, and still occasionally starts and plays ok.
I already have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, once from steam and once from original discs
