I put texture detail to the lowest setting and the crashes stopped 🙂 its just sad that the game looks ugly now ☹️
I realize this is and old topic and an old reply, but I have not seen the fix for this problem being suggested by EA and this topic comes up top when Googling the problem. I had the same problem which was 'fixed' by setting video settings low.
If you have a 4gb ram videocard, this may be the source of the crashes.
Download the 4GB patch (you can google or just download this http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php), after unzipping it, run it and select the daorigins.exe. This fixed it for me, I can now play with high settings.
I hope this will still help someone!
So I downloaded the patch and used it on the executable, but now my game won't start. It keeps throwing up an Error Code 51 and steam says i'm playing
TheDragonsFury,
Is your video driver updated? I did a little research on what an error code 51 was for steam and on some posts updating the video driver helped. If it isn't the video driver here is a site that lists some things to try: How To Fix Steam Error 51. At least this is a few things you can try to see if it helps. Good luck.
Found a link to a steam guide and file that fixed the issue for me. Here's the link

I was having the same issue and also was trying literally everything to make my game actually playable through all the crashes, and now it finally is because of you! Thank you so much!!!
