I find that if I try and play a second match, crashes are much more common. Restarting PA between matches reduces the chances of crashes. Maybe it's just in my head though. Anyone else experience this?
My game never crashes - but my computer stops responding and requires a total shut down (ripping battery out)
Its not you, but its not a consistently occurring thing on my end ...its weird sometimes I can get 4 or 5 AI games in a row and other times the 2nd will die... but I am only playing the AI at this point and I gather that you're playing against real people.
If you guys have enough internet, can you try deleting the game and re-downloading it, maybe there is a stuck file from an older build interfereing. If you guys do try delete and re-install (with the steam versio you need to use steam to uninstall it) Let me know if it stopped the dropout's and crashes.
