Update Graphic Drivers
Check with your Nvidia or AMD homepage to confirm that you have the most recent graphics drivers installed – quite a few times this is the cause for game crashes and it helps if you keep your graphics drivers updated at all times
Compatibility Mode
Try running the game in Compatibility Mode – this can be done by right-clicking on the game, going to Properties, then Compatibility tab and checking the ‘Allow compatibility mode’ option
Disable Anti-virus
In the off-chance that the anti-virus is causing some issues in the game running smoothly, try disabling the anti-virus and running the game to see if it helps. In case it does or does not, do remember to turn the anti-virus on after you have played the game
Hopefully, one of the above would have helped get you going on the game without any bugs or crashes to spoil your gameplay experience.
