The game is physically unplayable for me

During the playtesting I don't recall having any issues but ever since it went into "early access" I can't play at all, the crashing is constant and it doesn't just crash the game it freezes my whole PC. Its been how long now since early access started and this is a completely game breaking issue. I've had to restart my pc like 100 times trying to play the game. even when I get more than a few minutes without a crash just free roaming as soon as I try to do a challenge or quest it crashes. The tutorial quest learning to use the replay crashes my pc when I try to export a video so I can't complete that quest. I've seen many others report issues with severe crashing / pc freezing issues with Intel Arc GPU's and seen no acknowledgement about it or any hint that its being looked into that I'm aware of? Is this something the developers are aware of? I would like to play the game but its physically impossible as it is now...
