My first thought when people complain about crashes and all these problems with their pc,  is what kind of crap did they install on it lol...

There could be a ton of reasons why someone may be crashing.  In most cases I've been able to help with, it's generally because of Firewalls, old Drivers, or Windows needing to be updated.  

 

There are probably some cases where software conflicts may be the culprit, due to hidden processes, or conflicting processes.  Though you can't really generalize it to what kind of crap they installed on it, especially when some people do a clean reformat, and still run into issues. 

 

I understand where you are coming from though. If you install something sketchy, you don't know exactly what changes you are allowing it to make, thus resulting in larger potential for a compromised system.

Keeping drivers up to date is always a good idea. Especially video drivers.   Windows usually updates itself.  So if it isn't updating,  they borked their pc somehow.  Probably by installing bad software.   And I doubt firewall issues are most users problems.  More like poor isp problems.

I have a strict firewall,  I get a lost connection error every time I leave the game.  I just ignore it,  it affects nothing.  I also can't bring up the server list unless I make the firewall even more strict.

Most people I've run into that crash,  are too stubborn to lower graphics settings because they have high end pc's.  Or because they install bootleg software on their pc like most gamers and wannabe hackers do.   This has always been the case as long as I can remember.

I was just watching some random apex stream the other day.  The dude crashes,  I ask him if he lowered the settings.  he tells me he shouldn't have to with his rig.   So se la vie...  que sera sera... can't help most of these people.

Being these are the dumbest gamers I've ever seen in my life,  I'm not surprised all the complaints about crashes and hackers.    The amount of people with legitimate gripes is very low imo.
