I can also add that I have the opportunity to choose if I want to run the game with NVIDIA or integrated graphics, but it doesn't matter what I choose. The game still crashes after a few minutes of gameplay. ☹️

      How long can you play in windowed mode ? Can you check how much RAM the process TS3W.exe uses up ? Just start the task manager while you're playing and check on the process tab.

        I can play about 5 minutes and I have noticed that the game crashes when the memory use reaches over 2500 MB. I have tried several times with the same result.

        Many thanks by the way for trying to help me.
