Hi, I'm new to this game and I got a problem, I just got this game and was playing until my computer just shutted off automatically. My computer has never done this before, so I just said oh well i'll just restart, once I got onto the game again, computer shut off again. the problem seems to be when im in or around feather city or something i dont know. my computer only crashes when i log onto the game. It's not an overheating problem because my computer doesn't feel hot at all.
my specs from dxdiag if it can help or something -

Try this please:I have a dual or quad-core processor and the game is not running correctly!
If you are using one, you may have to change the Affinity settings for the processor to run the
game better.
To do this, start the game and then press Ctrl + Alt + Del to bring up the Task Manager. In the
processes tab, find elementclient.exe. Right-click on it and choose Set Affinity.
Untick/uncheck all but one CPU, then select OK.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Thanks for the fast response, but I've tried what you said and it says Access is denied. i've also tried the game on admin mode but same response.0

Well something is causing your computer to restart we just have to figure out what is it and fix it.
Here is a update for DirectX:

Try a Verify from the Launcher, as well. It may help deal with the underlying issue.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0
