The alpha seems to be crashing whenever I try to start a new game. It's not immediate, it hangs on the loading screen for a bit and I can hear birds and things in the background and then the screen darkens just a tiny bit and then it crashes. I'm trying to play at 1920x1080, first using the Medium graphics preset and then again with Very Low. Neither worked.
I get the feeling it might have to do with my dual core processor? I remember Divinity: Dragon Commander had an issue at one point where the game would get choppy because there was a problem with dual cores so I wonder if maybe the alpha has a similar issue right now.
Here's my dxdiag:
