I was getting the same thing 4 to 10 times a day - every day. In my case I finally solved it by setting the FPS cap in CE Settings to 60 FPS. A shame as my monitor is 120. **FC should fix this for sure** but in the meantime maybe that will help you in being able to load the game without so many errors? ---
