The game crashes all the time. It just stops responding and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del out every single time I load the game after like 10 minutes of gameplay. The window closes and then steam says the application was already running then it looks like the game is updating for like 2 seconds.
I have looked up countless solutions. I've tried reinstalling, I've updated my graphics drivers, my sound drivers, I've verified the cache on steam, I disabled automatic updates, I turned off multisampling, turned on V-Sync. It's ridiculous how bad this game is in terms of actually working. I had an easier time getting the original Thief to work than I have this game.
Specs:
- Windows 7 64-bit
- Intel Core i7 2600K
- GeForce GTX 560
- 310.64 WHQL graphics drivers

I found the problem. I had contacted Codemasters through E-mail since their support forms on their website wouldn't work for me. It took like 3 days for them to find the problem and 4 responses later they told me to disable my sound card, and it worked.
So I thought maybe it wad something with my sound drivers since I had a kind of hard time finding some. I looked harder than I did the first time and saw that there were new ones. I have the Realtek ALC892 chipset on an Asus P8Z68 motherboard. I downloaded the drivers from here: http://www.realtek.cz/realtek-download.php?realtek=ALC892&system=3
So I enabled my sound card again after installing the drivers and haven't had any problems yet.
