Ghost Recon crashes whenever I load a mission

[Rorisup]

Hello, I just wanted to play Ghost Recon again and relive its glory but my game crashes whenever I try to load a firefight, mission or anything.

This game has been installed on this pc and until my recent upgrades, has worked fine. The only changes I've made is upgrade my gpu from Nvidia card to a AMD R9 270 and to a 1080p monitor. My full specs are:

Win 7

Intel i5 750 4 2.6gz cores

4gb Ram

R9 270

New 23 inch Asus 1080p monitor if that makes any difference.

No Mods installed.

Here are my ike crash Logs:

I found a fix. I just shut down AMD gaming evolved. Which is basically AMD"s version of Raptr.

Now back to playing Ghost Recon . I swear its simplicity and depth just gets better especially in today's state of gaming.

Glad you found a fix and for posting it as well.

Yeah, Gaming Evolved tends to interfere with the smooth running of a lot of older games, It keeps preventing most of my pre 2005 games from booting.
