i downloaded the game through steam on an x64 windows 10 system. After playing for a few minutes it shuts down my computer. I am sure i have sufficent hardware to run it. Anyone know how to fix it?

Sounds like your computer is overheating and shuts down to prevent components from being damaged. You should try limiting fps and trying to lower settings.

I also suggest you post in Bug Reports sub forum on Steam instead of here. I doubt devs check this place much anymore if at all.
