My game crashes VERY frequently. I can't run any dungeons solo, because I will almost certainly crash while doing it, thereby losing my progress.

I'm just trying to finish the thing, and not being able to grind reliably is killing my enjoyment of this game.

It doesn't happen predictably, and doesn't happen when I'm doing any specific thing in particular.

Not even able to guess based on time passed. Sometimes I can come back and rejoin my party and instant crash, every now and then I can get over an hour.

It's not a hardware problem or driver problem.

I don't even know what else to do about it. I had been hearing others had the problem, but that quieted down a few patches ago. It never got better for me. This has persisted since I got the game about a week or so after launch.

Is it really just me now? I really want to make some progress, but side quests and cellars can only help so much and I don't always have friends on. Playing a dungeon over and over in hopes it won't crash this time is extremely frustrating. Can make it through maybe 1 out of 3 times.

Even if it was just once out of ten it would be too much to want to keep trying.

I've been playing a bit on Linux with an AMD card and I haven't had any crashes at all. You say you're running Windows 10. Was there anything in the Application or System logs under Windows Logs in Event Viewer showing after it happened?

I'm aware that exists, never had a reason to check it before other than just looking to see what was there for curiosity's sake. I'll take a peek next time I get a minute to play.

Finally got around to it. Nothing showing in there related to a crash or this program. I think it's a memory thing now. The game is an insane hog for ram.
