COuldnt find anywhere the fix for problem, so this is the last place
--------------
I installed game played for 1st time no freezes nothing. closing game after I done playing so far so good. On next day I starting game all good on menu clicking continue or join someoens game or start new game no matter what i choose it freezes short after or on loading screen. Looked thru varios fixes but nothing helped. Ok reinstalled game running for 1st time after reinstall game works again no freezes, when I quit the game and want to play again the freeze is back. SO basicly to play game I need each time i want to play I need to reinstall game and when I want to play 2nd time I need to reinstall game again. Im on windows10 nvidian 980ti latest drivers. Not sure what happens after i finish playing game but whatever I want to play again it freezes and requires reinstall to fix problem and problem is each time back when I want to play 2nd time.
--------
Hope i explained it good enought only thing I didnt do is contacted devs directly

You want to make sure your PC is up to date and keep your GPU drivers up to date. Does your PC meet the system requirements?

are u seriously telling me that? u should check my pc specs first and then ask silly questions. And about GPU drivers was told in my 1st post that they are up to date whats wrong with u mate? I dont have any antivirus active and game is set not to be blocked by firewall or anything. Please could u read my 1st post before u ask silly questions.

I see you have a Maxwell card (980Ti). I have found that BL2 crashes with Maxwell cards, but not Kepler cards. It takes 2-4 hours. Trust me I tried everything, it's not bad hardware. It's either Maxwell hardware or Maxwell drivers. Same story as Far Cry 4 issue.

But yours is freezing quickly. Get MSI AB and lower the GPU and VRAM clocks ... does that "cure" the freezes?

But why for 1st gameplay no matter how long it goes epicly good,but when i restart game it freezes no matter what I do. Is it really driver issue. If it is then why game works for 1st time and not for 2nd time.? Its a mystery for me
P.S.
I will try to do as u say will be back tomorrow
