I'm not entirely sure how are people able to play both games with no issues when it seems I'm the only one getting those frequent crashes. Even the patches I downloaded failed to fix those key issues. Thought I'd need a lending hand from people in fixing those issues and such. Thanks.

Well it would help, or may help, if you also post what your specs are, just in case it's anything related to those
-
Running the game in either fullscreen or compatibility mode eliminates a majority of crashes.
-
also make sure you aren't alt+tabbing out of the game or anything like that, it doesn't like that.

My specs are:
AMD A-10 6800K APU (CPU)
AMD Radeon R7 240 (3GB video card)
8 GB of RAM
4.1 GHz CPU Speed
I'm pretty sure I'm not running on a laptop that can barely handle even low-end games, so the specs meets and exceeds those requirements AFAIK.

Like the others say
Fullscreen
Compat Mode
Don't alt-tab
Put the game folder on your desktop
See how that goes.

Compatibility mode as in Run as Administrator, right?
On Windows 8.1, too.

No
Also, crashing seems to have actually stopped for me ever since following R01's advice. Right clicking the .exe, going to properties, and selecting "Windows 2000" for the 'running this program' option

Apparently, mine does not have the Windows 2000 option, only XP (and Windows 7 and 8/8.1). Tried that and played a good couple of minutes with compatibility mode... then crash, as always. I guess its come to the point where the game can run flawless for the many yet when it comes to mine, it becomes crash-happy, making it difficult to run the game for hours without getting the constant crashes. :facepalm:

does it ctd with an error or without?

Wait, are you running an unmodified ready to run download of DSL 2.2 or did you patch it yourself?

Make one post for your issue not like 3 different ones.
What's your Pc System? I haven't seen one that doesn't have the Win2k option, even Windows 10 has it. I did set up a guide for compatibility mode here:

The game can randomly crash and on some days really just wants to crash to no end, however with the above mentioned settings I've managed to reduce the amount of crashes where only a few rare ones happen, tabbing out of the game window(via the windows key) also works well.

It often says "Robot Arena 2.exe has stopped working" or in rare, but common cases, "abnormal termination program" error pops up.

Are you sure the crashes don't seem to trigger when you do a specific action?
Also assuming you aren't modding the game yourself?

Never modded myself whatsoever. I just played the game normally like everyone else yet the game just crashes just to ruin my day.
