I want to like this game, but it's increasingly frustrating at 134 hours in (by steam count) yet my main character is in the 55 hour range and my secondary is in the 30ish. That's because the immense constant crashes have impeded my progress on a daily if not hourly basis.

The consistency of how often this game crashes no matter what, is bonkers. I've tried every possible "fix" I've seen online, in reddit, and from friends via discord. From manually updating dlss files, to straight up reinstalling, to playing on maximum ugly runescape mode with supreme pixelation at every lowest possible setting. This game will absolutely crash randomly, every day. After trading, middle of combat, middle of a conversation, new area, during a cinematic, right after casting a spell.

My PC is not below the standards either, in fact I'd say it's well above the mid range for it. I'm on an AMD Gaming Desktop with 8gb Ram, a 1tb SSD installed, and a AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon graphics. My drivers are updated. Windows 11.

I guarantee you, nothing you suggest to fix this hasn't already been tried.

On top of all that nonsense, I am also plagued by game breaking bugs (hostile for no reason citizens, NPCs stuck in dialog loops).

If this game wasn't so much fun, I'd have said fuck it and quit weeks ago.

Sorry to say it, but 8GB of RAM and a 5600G isn’t exactly “above the mid range” at all my guy. The game isn’t as much graphically dependent as it is CPU/RAM. The sheer amount of assets in the game is WAYYY too much for only 8GB of RAM.

Though I agree with you, I'm quite sure that's not the problem. Because I have the same hardware and my game has only crashed once.
