Hey there @sau_ping_cheung, welcome to the Discourse. Based on your crash dump provided, your game is crashing on the LavasoftTcpService64.dll. Can you please double check that this is fully removed from your system. It can be tricky to remove, but there are some good instructions on their forums: Solution for LavasoftTcpService problem after uninstallation - Ad-Aware Web Companion - Adaware Support Forums.

  1. Start Command Prompt as an administrator by right-clicking it and select Run as administrator.

  3. Restart the computer.

  4. Please, delete these two files:
