Since I can't find edit/delete button, I'll have to double posts.

You might be a bit upset and what not, but I started to get the same thing again, except the time interval between staring the game and the crash is much bigger. Can it happen because my drivers are out-of-date? My newly created topic has more info. Link just in case: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=237261
