Hi! Can you please give me your "DxDiag.txt", "debug.log" and "crash.log" files?
Thanks :)

How to find "DxDiag.txt", "debug.log" and "crash.log":

• DxDiag.txt: Hit "Windows + R" -> Run "dxdiag" -> "Save All Information...".
  
• debug.log: Navigate to "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\HotlineMiami".
  
• crash.log: Right-click on the game in the library -> Properties -> Local files -> Browse local files.

How to upload them:

• Open the files using Notepad.
  
• Select everything (CTRL+A), copy/paste to http://pastebin.com/ and submit.
  
• Copy/paste the link for each file.

You have a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus. This technology switches the graphics card used by your applications. You have to make sure "HotlineGL.exe" runs on dedicated graphics / high performance graphics. Be careful: it must be "HotlineGL.exe" (which is the game) and not "HotlineMiami.exe" (which is the launcher). See this guide[support.lenovo.com].

This should help with mitigating the crash issues. If it still doesn't work, then it might be because another program (such as an overlay or antivirus) interferes with the game.

If you have any application that injects an overlay into games, such as Discord, Plays.TV / Raptr, Fraps, MSI Afterburner, Precision X / Riva Tuner, VirtuMVP, etc. disable the overlay/the application.

If you have any application that monitors other programs (antivirus, firewalls, etc.), such as Bit Defender, Avast, etc., try to disable the application temporarily. If it fixes the issue, add "HotlineGL.exe" to the program's whitelist.
