OMG. I thought this was only me! And yes it literally started a day ago for me as well. Yesterday. Same exact thing. 5 minutes maximum into the game and the game freezes, takes me to windowed mode and I have to open up task manager to close out of the game. I tried verifying installation and then uninstalling and reinstalling to a different drive. No solution. Man, I'm glad it's not just me. Well, since it's a very recent bug. I'm sure they'll find a fix soon. Seriously, just 2-3 days ago was playing fine without any problems. Then yesterday, this started. I wonder what's going on.
