3) Check for file integrity or re-install the game

Armored Core 6 might be crashing for you due to some corrupt files in the installation directory. You will be able to fix this by scanning and verifying the files there. To do so you must go to Steam > Library > Select the game and right-click > Properties > Verify Integrity of Game Files.
