Go to your Steam Library, right-click on the TSC icon, select "properties", click on local files and select "verify file integrity". Give it a few minutes (watch progress bar) and it will either say "successful" or report how many files were bad and re-download them automatically. These instructions were off the top oof my head, so the phrasing may not be exact, but the procedure should be accurate.
Regarding the crash; I experienced a crash when selecting to start the game in DX12 mode to try out my new gfx card. So I restarted in standard 64-bit mode, then went to "settings", "tools", and cleared cache, performing a restart. Never experienced any further crashing while in standard 64-bit mode. Never tried DX12 mode again to troubleshoot, as time is limited and wanted to spend it riding the rails.
Hope that helps.
