    So its happened 2 times where the drivers crash and I must force restart my pc. I play a lot of games and never had this issue and it has happened twice now on this game only. Is there any way to fix this or will I have to wait for a update or something? I also added more info below.

    Obviously I seen it, but still it's hard to check what it's might be related to. :-(

    It's good that you posted it here as well because might be we'll see somebody else who have related issues.

    Well shortly after the crash happened I checked my Event Viewer and I noticed that during the game the drive constantly crashes and restores then eventually it just crashes and boom that's it doesn't come back and it started around the update the Gas planets and catalyst were added. I have been playing since early alpha so ya.

    Note: During a game the screen sometimes go black but for a split second and I am pretty sure thats when the driver crashes and restores.

    Hello,

    Your AMD driver could use an update:

    Driver Version: 14.100.0.0
    Driver Date/Size: 4/17/2014 19:42:54, 1343272 bytes
    Please download and install the latest beta driver from the AMD website:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows 8.1 - 64

    The beta drivers are at the bottom of the page.
