I am sure that the issues which I and Xyst have are connected with 32bit system. I guess we just don't have enough operative memory. And do you know how many people stil have 32 bit system??? How dare you say that this doesn't affect large audiences? Nevertheless, even if i have crashes each 20 minutes, I continue to play and I have played around 54 hours. I have also noticed that in some locations like black cove or Niberheim there are no crashes at all, so it was really great to play there.
