We need more information. In the Logs Directory there is an "ExceptionLog.txt" (and other txt files). Also helpful is if have your exact PC Specifications and often you see in the windows event viewer also some errors. Also helpful is dxdiag Tool.
I suppose you have the latest driver installed? Also do you have any graphic Tools installed?

I see the Logs, but not sure how to post that as a file without copying everything and pasting. I do not have a dxdiag Tool to my knowledge. Not sure about latest driver. Finally, when you speak of graphic tools, do you mean my NVIDIA app?

Windows Update let you also update device drivers. So if you use windows update make sure the drivers update is included ( https://www.windowscentral.com/how-properly-update-device-drivers-windows-10 )

Also how it 'crash'. A popup message stating something? Game just closes? Game hangs(stops responding to input)? The dreaded red-X appears?

Assuming ExceptionLog.txt isn't dozens of megabytes... (and if it is rename it, game will re-generate a new one going forward)
To upload, right click ExceptionLog.txt send-to 'compressed zip folder', attach resulting .zip file to post using 'reply' button which brings up a window with 'click here to upload' option toward the bottom that isn't shown when using the 'fast reply' option at the bottom of the thread page.

Status: offline 		UPDATE: Played out some scenarios in variable sizes. Turns out larger games run very slowly with hiccups during play, later just crashes out. Medium sized scenarios are a bit choppy, but doesn't crash. As you may have guessed, small scenarios run just fine.

CONCLUSION: I'm sure it's a problem with my trashy GPU. It's an NVIDIA Ge-Force 745, way outdated for today's games.

SOLUTION: Win the Lottery, buy better PC. :P

32GB RAM

64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

If the problem is not my PC or the GPU, I'm at a loss. Conducted every virus scan, system check, disk defrag, diagnostics, even cleaned the dust off of it.

(crawls into a hole...)

Only thing I can think of was the adjustments I made to the unit numbers, added a SAM site to Bardufoss, and readied all of the A/C at that airfield; somehow corrupted the saves. All of that should not have messed up the system right?

Status: offline 		You added units to the scenario? In the scenario editor? Or though the ini files? If you did, I assume you used the original scen file and not the save to do it.

Status: offline 		Let me recall how (I think) I did this:

Opened Mission Editor, selected Bardufoss #5. Did my changes, saved under Bardufoss (Home) file. Played the different game, saved under Bardufoss part 1, and so on.

Just now confirmed I did NOT alter anything in the original scenario (whew). I have no idea how to mess with init files.
