      @xephirio Thank you. Taking a look at the file, I can see quite a bit of crash logs for the system, Windows, and a few random programs. Something on there is causing the game to crash that conflicts with the game.

      I would start with the following and see what happens.

      • EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
      • EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)
      • Run the System File Checker tool
      • Check for Windows and GPU updates

      Delete Windows Temp Files

      • First, make sure you close as many programs as you can
      • Press the Windows key + R, go into the file explorer
      • Type in %temp%, and hit Enter
      • Delete everything it allows you to delete
      • Reboot the PC

      Optional Registry clean-up

      • install CCleaner (it's free) from here
      • Run Registry cleaner
      • Click review selected issues
      • Do you want to back up? No
      • Click Fix all selected issues

      Alienware command center is also causing crash logs as well. I would make sure that Windows and Alienware are fully updated as well.
