Petroglyph crash report on startup: C&C Remastered

I bought this game 2 days ago on Steam and played the Red Alert Alliance missions # 1 - 13 in one sitting.  Everything was great.  The only reason I stopped is because the game crashed and I received...

Of course, within 10 minutes of posting about this I try to load the game again and it starts up with only a minor delay as if nothing happened.  Even has my old save files.  The only thing I did differently in the meantime was to try loading another game in Steam just to see if it would work.  Something tells me the fix is not for everyone to just load KOTOR and then close it out immediately, but yet my game is working this very second.  I guess I'll update if it stops?

    @StruttinM hey, if you have multiple Saves or large cloud Storage in Steam, the game takes some time to validate all (in-background). it may result in game to stop working/crash or not load until all the game files are validate.

    its good, that you bought it out for everyone to see.

    i would suggest either of the following workaround:
    >>Go to your C&C Remastered Collection page on Steam
    >>Click on the Manage button (gear icon)
    >>Select Properties
    >>On the General tab, select “Set Launch Options…”
    >>In the box, enter “NOSPLASHPRELOAD”
    >>Click OK and launch the game"

    Also, disable savegame syncing for C&C in Steam can help load the game quickly. but the only downside is, if something happens to your local saves, then you may lose saves/progression.

      Thanks @SnakeheadMonster for the reply.  I'm still getting the crash report the majority of the time I try to play the game; I've been able to get it to run twice since Saturday.  I tried both "NOSPLASHPRELOAD" and disabling the savegame sync, but that didn't seem to make an impact.

        @StruttinM i guess EA Team has already working on some fix. hopefully, it gets fixed in the upcoming patch.
