ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
After updating the game today and downloading the Lords of the West DLC, the game crashes the entire system every single time I start a match. Reproduced even in “typical” 1v1 arabia Skirmish mode against AI. This forces me to turn my PC off/on because all of the resources end up used up.
Alt-tabbing to task manager shows that CPU and GPU end up growing towards 100% usage within the first minute of the game, before the crash occurs.
My system information:
- Nvidia GTX 1080ti OC 11GB
- intel i7 7700k
- 16GB RAM
- Playing on Samsung SSD.
Note: A friend has told me the exact same thing happens to them.
Note 2: Could possibly be related to Game crashes right at the begining of the match
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

The game does not use up 100% CPU and GPU and does not crash.
IMAGE
ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.
I am unable to attach an image because my PC literally dies when this happens.
