My game keeps crashing during second mission when returning from lvl 2 to lvl 1. Tried all the fixes listed on forums and also reseted configurations. The moment i return to lvl 1 my system ram starts filling up insanely fast and as soon as 16gb is filled, game freezes and shuts itself down.

Tired this, but still no luck. If I'm lucky I can get 5-15 minutes of play before I get an access violation and if I keep going back in 3-4 more times in a row, it will lock up so bad I'll get blue screened.

Try capping framerate to 60.

If you are using an AMD graphics card, it's drivers might be getting scrambled by windows update. I pretty sure i had the same error, which went away completely when i turned off windows updates and reinstalled drivers.

The graphics drivers I've been downloading through the amd software package that it came with. would windows update cause issues with that?

It sounds Stupid and quite obvious! But it worked for me!

From FE's support desk.

1. Right click on the Windows Start button > Settings.
2. Navigate to Gaming (on the left) > Game Mode > Graphics.
3. Select Desktop app under Add an app from Custom options for apps.
4. Click Browse button.
5. Navigate to Steam > steamapps > common > Aliens Dark Descent > ASF > Binaries > Win64.
6. Select AliensDarkDescentGameSteam-Win64-Shipping.exe application and click Add button.
7. Scroll down to the games list.
8. Select Aliens: Dark Descent > Options.
9. Tick High performance GPU: NVIDIA (blah blah)
10. Click Save.
11. Run Aliens: Dark Descent and test.

Good luck, and if this doesn't work I advise contacting FE support yourself they are very helpful and tend to reply within 48 hours! And will continue to reply/talk with you until the problem is resolved!
