    YARRR MATEYS!

    This evening I was playing this game with two buddies and encountered a freeze when grabbing the steeringwheel. After the feeze I presses wasd and f incase the game responded on that and my friends could take over the wheel.
    I forced to quit the game with the task manager. When I started up the game again from the store (always worked) I saw the little picture and the game crashed. I thought nothing of it, but I tried 5 times more with the same result. I also tried to join the party from the XBox application with the same result.
    After rebooting my PC I tried to start-up the game again from both the store as the join feature in the XBOX app. The game currently still crashes on start-up and honestly, I don't want to download the whole 18 GB again.

    Does anyone know what else I can do to fix this issue?
