It had crashed on me in the past but I could always go to the game properties and validate the local files and it would be just fine but today it crashed, I followed my normal steps and when I logged back in my character had been wiped. So I just proceeded to build my gear back up with my fresh spawn and after a minute of playing it crashed again so did my normal thing logged back in and it chrashed again after about a minute. It did this about five more times before I finally gave up.
