Not sure what they changed in the new update, but it doesn't just crash occasionally, it bricks my entire PC. Literally have to do the horrible 'hold power button down to turn off' manoevre, which always feels to me like Deebo choking out Craig.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, yeah!". Got to the point I'm seriously thinking about uninstalling the game because I can't risk fucking up my PC like this just for a game (entertaining though it is). Just about to start Act 3, gutted because I want to see where my characters' stories go.

That sucks. I've got a pretty shitty PC and I've crashed once in my 176 hours

Im sure that your pc will be fine

It’s not really something that software can do.

Have you tried changing to Vulkan or making sure everything is nicely installed? Maybe verify the game files as well.

It wouldn't even load in Vulkan last time I tried, I'll try again as iirc that was before even patch 1. From the beginning, this game sent my cpu & gpu to the edge, it's better now than at launch but still very taxing (i9 12900k / 2070s), sends multiple cores right up to 100c. The cores can hit 100c when I'm doing demanding work eg audio / visual design. But they shouldn't be held up there constantly.

I tried undervolting my cpu slightly (which defo helped re temps, but perhaps has introduced instability), and also noticed in the bios pretty much every superboosterturbodude setting was turned on so switched a couple off. Or maybe it's the small number of mods I use, ah the joy of PC gaming, and the fun of figuring out what's wrong
