The game always crashed while loading after picking a character, so I'm not sure if it happened anywhere else in-game.

I reinstalled the game again anyway, I've been playing somewhat over a couple days and the crash seems to have disappeared. But I'm not sure if it'd stay gone since it came back for previous reinstalls.

If it helps, my PC has two HDDs and every time I installed the game on my secondary, the crash happened, but this time I installed on my primary HDD instead.
