Game Crashes randomly or Freezes.
and it's pretty annoying!

Windows 10
GTX 760
16 GB RAM
i7-4770S CPU @ 3.10GHz

Does anybody have the same problem or even a fix?

My game too, what I did was put this code on the launch options and save the game every 10 minutes

The code:
-disablepagefilecheck

For me it works a little

Do you know what this code does?

Mine crashes too, no fix found yet, sooo annoying

the disable page pile thing must do just that, disables the page file checking...I guess you have already tried the basics? Like putting it to win7 compatibility in the EXE file? Only other thing I can think of right now that may assist...does your C drive have your page file on it? Maybe it has to be on the same drive as where you installed the game? You could put ANOTHER page file on that drive (and disable C drive one) and see if that does anything good...just brainstorming a bit here...I have yet to purchase...so if I did would be nice to have a fix in case I am running win10 (which I rarely do as win7 is just so much more robust still). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzPGCworyeQ Possible Saints Row IV Crash on Startup Fix (Windows 10)

A friend and myself spent several hours sorting out the crashing during co-op.
The following is our "most stable" approach thus far:

Disable Steam overlay
Disable AMD Overlay (if AMD)
Run in compatibility for Windows 7
Run as admin (probably doesn't matter honestly)
Enable V-Sync
(EDIT:
I failed to mentioned that under AMD's Radeon i've enabled "Radeon Chill" to lock the framerate min/max to my display's refresh rate
)

Some users have noted reducing the graphics settings but I've noticed no difference.

What seemed to make to largest perceived difference is setting up this mod:

I've also noticed that atleast between our two PCs mine seems to crash more often, but also has double the core count and I saw a post on steamcommunity about reducing the CPU affinity to 2 cores. I've found that setting the CPU affinity to 2 cores improves perceived stability but hinders performance quite a bit. 4 cores seems to be okay.

It's worth noting that both of our systems have 'opposing builds', Intel/Nvidia AMD/AMD.

Another fix that may or may not matter (probably doesn't matter since nothing is telling the engine to allocate more memory), we've also both patched our SaintsRowIV.exe using ntcore's 4GB patch, (Dawn of War Apocalypse Mod players will recognize it).
The patch can be found: https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371

Note the intentional use of "perceived" above, I went from crashing every 20 minutes to playing for several hours straight until the most recent crash.

(PS: The Linux port of SRIV has none of these issues but also isn't the same version as Windows so Linux and Windows players cannot co-op.)
