:white_check_mark: ISSUE DESCRIPTION

  1. Description of the issue: The game starts and within about 1-3 minutes no matter what I’m doing at the time, I get a CTD. It has done it at the start up screen if I don’t immediately go into the main menu, if I move quick enough I can get it far enough along to even get into a flight, but no matter what it crashes within those first couple minutes. It has happened in several different screens as well, which makes me think its something working in the background. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and same issue.
