Sounds like another process such as antivirus software or cheatengine might be causing this. Try closing other such programs before launching the game.

Hi, I am not having any mods or cheatengines. Is it adviced to not to have antivirus software on?

Hello @Pindrael, try running the game after closing all other software, including your Antivirus, game overlays, download managers and anything else that could tamper with the game. If the game runs fine after turning off your Antivirus, then consider adding an exception for the game executable in your antivirus.
