  2. I had problem of crashing to desktop for weeks.
    Finally found a solution that worked for me.

    Went here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 and downloaded and installed, then played in windowed mode with online type set to LAN with all video settings at lowest or off.

    Been playing now for over 9 hours straight finally
