- "This fix is for anyone that has crashes in this game every 15 minutes on Windows. (In my case Win10) Before running the game, right click on the taskbar to open up the Task Manager. Looking at the Processes tab scroll through Background processes untill you find "Tablet Service" and any other Tablet related tasks. End these tasks. This will solve the issue."

- "Used steam's new option to move the game off of my external and on the ym C drive. Seems to work okay, no longer crashing on startup at least."
