Game frequently freezes and crashes. I checked the debug.err to find this:
Reason: Device hung.
Debug Message: CReloadGraphicTask: Failed 10 attempts to load graphic: C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\STEAM\STEAMAPPS\COMMON\GALACTIC CIVILIZATIONS III\GFX\ICONS\STATS\GC3_FantasticPlanet_Icon.png. Error: (887a0005) The GPU device instance has been suspended. Use GetDeviceRemovedReason to determine the appropriate action.
Similar error for GC3_Dead_Planet_Icon.png on an earlier crash.
System specs :
intel core i5 with 8GB ram and intel iris xe graphics.
