Sorry, I had never really considered posting about a solution publicly! It seems to occur in rare instances so it's never crossed my mind. Since this game was made in an older version of UE4, some newer generation CPUs and GPUs may have this strange crashing issue. The quickest and easiest solution is to disconnect from your wifi before launching the game and it should run smoothly. I know there is a permanent solution out there, but I can't remember what it is you need to do. Sorry for the inconvenience!
