have you tried to reinstall the game. there is probably a corrupt file somewhere.

How do you re-install a game from Steam, I just downloaded FS2013 and I got this exact same problem

in the game library of steam on the left you will see a column with the games you own right click on the game you want to uninstall and then left click on "Delete Local Content"

this will uninstall the game and then you can install it back again btu if your smart you do a reboot before you reinstall it.

Hope this helps.

Happy Farming

I have the disc too, I'm getting real tired of these problems, if it's not game engine stopped working, it's an allocation error, I tell you I'm real close to throwing this disc in the garbage

Are you on a notebook? If so, try plugging the power cord. Otherwise try to check if Powersave is set on Balanced or Maximum Save. In that case most times cpu works only on few cores and external graphics is excluded

All you people that have the giants engine stopped, its not the game, its your system. if you had it working, and now it wont work, did you install any mods,??? a lot of mods are not done correctly and will bog down your system, and even stop it working. check the Log file, see what errors you have, they will help you find the problem, the LOG file is in the same folder as your savegame's scroll down to the bottom.
