At this point I have tried compatibility with VISTA and got through one map but again shutdown. Game would not load with XP. I have also run the game as Administrator, still shuts down PC.
I have done a system restore but cannot get back as far as I would like. Tee option for selecting more restore points does not let you go back as far as you used to be able to do, I can only go back about 3 weeks.
I have deleted all files and folders from my player profiles and started from scratch. I created and entirely new profile, Still shuts of laptop.
I have googled the issue, see nothing. I have run complete scans with Windows Defender and Malware Bytes.
Somehow I think it is a update issue because I have the same issue on my home PC and now this laptop. Only shuts down PC in game.
Now I am even thinking dirty pool by a spyware program I did not renew. I was running PC Tools Spyware Doctor on my PC's. Let it expire in late December. Deleted it from my home PC and on this laptop the program is here but expired. Could they be getting revenge on me for not renewing?
Did I mention I also deleted and reinstalled the whole game and patches? I just think it is not game or hardware related but probably some update or something like that. I will be on my home PC later today.
Very discouraging issue. If I have to I will ship my PC to the builder and wee if they can find anything.
