here's what i noticed whilst playing the game, keeping in mind though that i haven't gone far yet with the game.

first characterd, wizard.
-8 to 10 hours of gameplay, no crashes until i was in the last lvl of the catacombs and about to shown how the resurrection device works. after clearing the catacombs, and started roaming around, breathing the fresh air of aleroth and its surrounding woods, the game continually crashes at random. no crashes though while saving or loading a game.

second character, wizard.
-no crashes in the catacombs and while exploring the surroundings of aleroth, and even on the way to the barracks of general alix and the camp of miltox. but after encountering the first of the many bees that inhabit the woods, the game started to crashes, randomly. the first crash with the freaking bees happened when they emit some sort of greenish air(?) around my character. and one other weird thing with these freaking bees is that my character can't seem to hit them either with magic powers or physical attacks.
-i can play for atleast 4 hours or more if i avoid a confrontation with these bees. but there mere presence, even without a fight with them seem to cause a crash.
-however, after the first sighting and confrontation with these freaking bees, the game has become very unstable even without seeing a single bee.

just curious, was this game rushed in its release?

i'm gonna start a new character, a wizard, again. if after doing all those suggestions to make the stable yet the end result is still an unstable game, i may just quit and buy splinter cell.
i can stand buggy or unstable games in my pc like fallout series and baldur's gate and neverwinter nights if these games are really that good. but so far with DD i can't really tell since i haven't gone that far with the game, maybe i have only seen the tip of the iceberg but who am i to say if it is the tip or it's the iceberg itself. (no pun intended.)
