Crashing on i3 2100, 8GB RAM and 9800 GT.
Old updates work well but the latest one crashes no matter if I use the x64 or x86 version, I also tried to run troubleshoot_dx9.cmd from the bin folder but still no use. Game worked well on GT 220 with exception of a few graphical bugs. I haven't played ATS on the current pc so it's probably not a savegame problem. Any ideas?

Btw I have no mods installed

Yeah, I'd suggest that and it wouldn't hurt to bump up your RAM to 16GB as well.

Pointless to waste the money on a computer that old. Old ram is hard to find at reasonable prices. Time to start over with a whole new computer.

OpenGL exists for people like you who can't use DX11.1

Open GL crashes more then Direct X does I wouldn't recommend that to anyone.

Or you could take it as a hint that your computer/video card have seen better days as far as current games go.

I never said it was a great option. I did try it once some time ago just out of curiosity. I burnt that PC to the ground to hide all evidence it happened.

i just wanted to check if it's a fixable issue and not the fact that it went dx11
