Same thing is happening to a friend. It's important to note she's only had this computer since early March. Every major patch we go through the entire trial of: repairing the patch files, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, making sure all updates (graphics or otherwise) have been completed, and even resetting her computer back to factory to try and resolve the endless loop.

Normally that last bit fixes it, but this round she's stuck. We've been playing for years but this is the first expansion we've had this issue. I'm assuming AMD and Direct X11 are NOT fans of the updated graphics with the game. Its very frustrating.
