Steam version  
As the title says if I and probably many of us use UhD graphisc pack the game loads or tends to then crashes.

Increasing the size of the page file fixed it for me.

With 16GB RAM, I set pagefile to min 8192 and max 16384. Works ok now.

To check if memory (or lack thereof) is your problem, right click on the start button, click on event viewer, on the left hand side, click on windows logs and then on system, look for the date and time of your CTD and you should see a warning (with event id 2004?) that states Resource Exhaustion Diagnosis Events.
