Crazy, haven't experienced anything like that. Do you meet the minimum specs, and are you running it on an HDD or an SSD?
I3 12100f, gtx 1060 3gb, and ssd on Linux. We since switched to steam deck where we have only had 1 crash. I should be hitting a bit over the minimum specs but my bet is I was running out of vram in cutscenes where the detail is higher.
4GB of VRAM is in the minimum requirements, seeing as you have a 12th gen Intel you really might want to look at getting a GPU upgrade. You can find used 6600/XT's or 6700's for pretty cheap and that would roughly double (or more) your performance in pretty much every game.
That is a good catch, I clearly glossed over that. I recently gave most of my rig a facelift as I was bottlenecked by my old CPU. A GPU is 100% next in line but thankfully we're still enjoying the game on our Decks.
linux There's your answer,
Nah the game runs fine on SteamDeck, which is Linux. It's the 3gb of vram.
