A couple of players are reporting that the game crashes randomly while playing like the game is unable to continue. To be very specific, the error message looks like: “The game has encountered an error and is unable to continue”. “A crash report will be generated to help us resolve the issue”.
Even if the players try to open the crash dump files, they’re getting the error that the game files can’t open.
