Thanks for the error message (of itself it is not all that helpful as it describes the result and not the cause) but unfortunately the rest of the necessary information is missing.

If this is a Steam game then verify the gamefiles cache.

Thanks for replying Alan.

As it happens I verified the gamefiles cache (yes, bought through Steam) and it found and fixed one error.

So far, fingers crossed, no CTD today after playing for several hours. Seems to be fixed - will report back to confirm.

[shaka]

All's well. Verifying and fixing the gamefiles cache did the trick. Many hours later no crashes.

Consider it solved!

Good to hear. Enjoy the game!
