Issues fixed

Crashes on low end systems (e.g. Intel HD iGPU) on version 1.3 and newer

This is due to PC specs. Even if the PC can run the game at 60 FPS on high settings, crashes can still occur.

Attempting to disable DX11 on versions 1.3 and newer has no effect.

Lower the quality settings all the way down
Keep the graphics settings at the minimum Keep traffic and pedestrians around 20% at most (go higher only if the game remains stable) Use day time and dry weather (change it up only if the game remains stable) Do not install ANY car mods (just having them installed is enough to decrease the game's stability)

Use versions 1.2.x (3DI 2.2.x) if possible

Version from official website unable to activate / keeps asking for the activation key

Run the game as administrator
