Fatal Hitching (Get Higby'd)

After starting up the game and playing for a short time (about 7-10 or slightly more minutes)
The game hitches, and whatever sound was playing at the time of the hitch plays for the next eternity, or until I end the process and restart the game.
This happens without fail.

This has started happening today for me aswell.

Actually just created a thread with a similar issue since i hadn't really seen anything else on the forums here before noticing this one. Hoping to hear of a fix for this. I'm a little disconcerted seeing your specs, guess it's not my rig then that's causing this. Also, I'm running an Nvidia card so our drivers are different

Same here, the game crash when the cpu load goes to 100 % and memory usage max, it will just remain frozen unless you end the process.

Oh, well ****. So i guess nothing to do but upgrade memory and processor?

Be nice to get some clarification from mods

Is it due to inexperience? Glad to be a test subject.
