Anybody experiencing game crashes or freezes? I tried running the game on extreme settings but it overheats my GPU and comp just shuts off. I then toned it down to high setting but the game freezes after 30min of gameplay.

I was wondering if anybody else has issues?

My GPU is nvidia gtx-580.

The game is gpu extensive. I have to play with an open case and two extra fans (ati hd6950). The AA gives the heaviest impact on fps and still looks terrible. On my system it cuts to a third (no aa 60-70, full aa 20-25). I also turned off the shadows to go easy on my ati card. It's still hot but doesn't crash anymore.

Better to reign in hell, than to serve in heaven.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try and do the same.

My game doesn't crash, it just lags like crazy for a while, and most of the time the videos are out of sync with the audio, but it's still playable, unless you're in a race .

Game has been crashing like crazy....until I took my two nvidea 550Ti's out of SLI config. I have no idea why that helped and it no longer crashes as long as I use my video cards with SLI disabled...go figure

It's all in the......whoops!

Even after the latest patch, the crashes are still happening.
