@THE_FAT_MOOSE89 Hmm, It's hard to tell. Your system is below the min spec, so it could be performance strain, but as you say it's been working before.
Be sure to restart your machine with a Clean Boot for one, and make sure that your airflow/cooling on your laptop is adequate. You might want to run a temperature/performance monitor as you play, something may be maxing out before the shutdown.
What exactly is below specs on my device? I really want to get back to this game so I'm open to upgrading.

Chip type: GeForce GTX 860MYour CPU is far too slow to meet the requirements, will cause problems beyond freezing, and cannot be changed.
- ApprovedAnonymous10 years agoCould that be the cause of the freezing? I have been able to run the game for a very long time so I don't know why this would only affect me now.
- 10 years agoI just installed new WHQL driver for Nvidia, it came yesterday!
Played the game for ~2hrs with no problems, even on medium graphics... I think that CPU doesn't have to do much with this problem. The easiest thing is to say "your pc is too weak, buy a new one", rather then finding a real solution.
