Game freezes all the time.

from Elemental Forums

 Downloaded game on Sunday and the game froze after a few minutes no matter what I did (playing sandbox, campaign or checking out the editors). Had to CTRL-ALT-DEL out. Same thing with the subsequent patch (1.01). Decided to wait until day 0 patch to see if the situation would change. Installed day 0 patch (1.05) and It's the same. The game starts fine but after a few minutes it simply freezes. Haven't been able to play for more than a few minutes. Freeze doesn't seem to happen after any particular action or event, it just occurs after a period of time.

I have posted debug in pastebin as per instructions at the top of this thread:

Your driver is almost certainly the issue. Go update that and you should be fine.

 Ah thx for the quick reply. Thing is I'm pretty computer idiotic. Can anybody from the community give me a quick run down on how I go about updateing a driver (whatever that is).

 

 Forgive my incompetence  :blush:

Dell should have some newer ones available. If not, you'll need to search intel's website.
