Hi there! I understand that you're experiencing crashes with the Outsmarted game after about 20-30 minutes. It sounds like a bit of a tricky situation. Let’s try to figure this out together.

1. Check for Updates: First, can you make sure that both your game and your Windows operating system are fully up to date? Sometimes, updates contain important fixes for stability issues.

2. Graphics Drivers: In addition to the game itself, it’s a good idea to check if your graphics drivers are updated. You can do this through the Device Manager:
- Right-click on the Start button.
- Select "Device Manager."
- Expand the "Display adapters" section.
- Right-click on your graphics card and select "Update driver."

3. Close Background Applications: If you have any other applications running in the background while playing, particularly ones that may use a lot of memory or processing power, try closing them to see if that helps stabilize the game.

4. Temperature Check: Since overheating can cause crashes too, you might want to check your system temperatures:
- You can use software like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner to monitor the temperature of your CPU and GPU.
- If any component is running excessively hot, consider cleaning your fans or improving airflow in your PC.

5. Game Settings: Lowering the graphics settings in the game might also help. This reduces the load on your system, especially if it's a bit older.

6. Verify Game Integrity: If you're playing on a platform like Steam, you can verify the game files by:
- Right-clicking on the game in your library.
- Selecting "Properties."
- Going to the "Local Files" tab and clicking "Verify Integrity of Game Files."

If none of these steps solve the issue, it might be related to a specific bug or memory leak with the game, as reflected in discussions online. You could also check the Outsmarted Help Center for any known issues or further assistance.

Are you satisfied with the solutions I've provided so far, or do you need more support on any specific step?
