Game closes out randomly

I will be in the middle of playing the game and it will literally freeze and close completely out of the game. i dont have cc, I have repaired, uninstalled the game and done all of the things that was suggested before when i posted this issue. Nothing has fixed this issue. HELP! I am sick of having to go backwards and redo everything i accomplish (even when saving often)

    Yes, I also randomly get the game crashed, first black screen appears, then white screen, and I must restart my PC.

    moving this pc tech for troubleshooting

    Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?

    • Press Windows-Key + R
    • Type: DxDiag

  • Sorceress99​  The python37_x64.dll errors in your dxdiag point to an issue that's common on high-end Intel processors that the motherboard may overclock by default.  It's usually simple to solve on a desktop, but the BIOS for most laptop motherboards don't have the same options.  Still, you could boot into BIOS and see whether there's a CPU Turbo Boost setting under Advanced that you could disable.

    Aside from that, it might help to run the game only on the processor's performance cores.  You can choose which cores a given process is allowed to use in the Task Manager's Details tab.  Right-click TS4_x64.exe and select Set affinity, then select the cores you want the game to use.  Your CPU has eight P cores, likely options 0 to 7, and sixteen E cores.

    You can experiment with different core configurations as well if you want.  Four cores is more than enough for the game, and in fact before DirectX 11 mode was introduced, it could only use four cores at all.
