Same problem here, meanwhile each start of the game just blackens the screen and forces a manual hard reset/ shutdown with sever issues afterwards. Seems to be corrupt game cache of safegame, but I basically cannot continue playing anymore.

Game direly needs a patch, otherwise it is unplayable imho in the current state.

I could play the game using lower Video settings, try setting most of the video configs at medium. Being honest, there is not much visual difference between, max setting and medium
Haven't played in months, though didn't have this problem so don't know of any solutions.

Still, whenever you get some kind of full screen black/blank screen with a game make sure Windows is actually frozen before resetting. When the screen goes black push the PC's power button once (do not hold it), if this causes the PC to shut down normally (might take a little longer) then it's just the game / graphics driver that crashed.

Also if that works, it means terminating the game during such a black screen could prevent having to restart in future. Though it can be tricky since Microsoft in its "wisdom" removed restart/shutdown/logoff options after WinXP, still if you can use Taskmanager blind that could work.

Though could instead try something like SuperF4 which might work, all it does it is terminate the program that has focus when you press Ctrl+Alt+F4. If the entire system hasn't frozen there's a good chance that will terminate the game process.
Don't have a solution, but out of curiosity are you using Windows10? GD seems fine to me until I updated to Win10. I've had a number of crashes and complete lockups since then.

I feel like Win10 is less reliable getting to the task manager and killing a misbehaving app than Win 7 or 8.
Yep, using Win 10 prof. here. I definitely think it is some gfx card addressing problem as after reboot, the first restart ends in a screen with bizarre patterns, not booting into the OS at completely. I already turned anti aliasing off (that caused some weird texture flickering), but I am not trying again until there is some path/fix. Do not wanna suffer from data loss due to some hard disk problems when having to reboot (I know Win isn't really an asynchronous OS, but nevertheless, frequent unexpected reboots are not helping system health).
