45 minutes in and crashed, no save

[Stars-N-Stripes]

Did a couple quests repaired a lot of buildings and then it crashed. To my surprise I have to start over completely as there is no save, I've repaired enough boards and don't want to do it over requesting refund.

Crashes are extremely rare on the PC version.

So, even if you no longer own the game, it would be great if you could share a few details with us.

For example your PC specs (best would be a dxdiag log), at what point the game crashed, if you got an error message and, especially after playing for some time, what the temperatures looked like.

It would also have been interesting to know if the crash happened once or can be reproduced. Also what was running in the background and if closing what isn't needed would have eleminated the potential for a crash.

In general I also would have suggeted to double check the GPU drivers and to repair Windows, as the latter has caused issues for a few people with its latest update. DISM and sfc /scannow can quite easily fix that.
