This was observed on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 by 2 of my friends. The game always worked and they are on compatible operating systems with the latest drivers. Somehow a reboot seems to fix the problem but not always.

Could this be a problem of a low-spec'd device? (It does fit under "minimum requirements" for the game)

This bug never occurred for the past 5 months.
