FIX:

if this situation occurs to you, do the following: close steam, shut down your computer, step outside and smell the fresh air... you are now free...

try verifying the game files / changing ur cfg or compatibility settings , try -autoconfig

did you keep your original config or hud?

if you post stupid uesless shit like this to farm updoots in help threads i honestly think i am intellectually above you

anyways are ur drivers up to date

i post stupid shit like this because i think it's funny. i'm sorry you're such a scrooge, try LOVE :)

drivers are up to date & its a fresh install so cant be hud or cfg etc

Unlikely but you could try re-seating your ram or test the system with one stick at a time.

also if you want to go that far, this entire thread is pointless and is one of thousands. just google it. simple. delete this and fuck off NOW

try running as administrator, verify game files or try running in compatibility mode. Otherwise idk might be graphic card driver being poop and shit for some reasons :[

can you post specs of your pc specifically ram/gpu/cpu

make sure if it's an amd gpu it's not due to their poopy adrenalin whatever the hell its called software

also if yours is a prebuilt pls check to make sure ram (as suggested above) and gpu are seated correctly

fixed; was my cloud backup giving me a cfg from 3 years ago and something in there was hard crashing my game
thank you all

:(

it would seem that i was correct :)
