The only other thing I can suggest that might help PC/Mac players is to minimize the amount of stuff you have going on in the background.
I normally leave Facebook open, for example, but since FB's latest update it's become a major memory hog (at least on Firefox) so I had that closed. I did have Firefox up, but mostly so that if/when it crashed, I could report what I was doing at the time and see if anything helped to sort out what caused said crash. Except it didn't crash, and I ended up with a 7-hour play session... And I still had Thunderbird, Discord, and Spotify open (though I wasn't playing anything on Spotify at the time. I'd just neglected to close it.)
I'd also done a repair on Microsoft C++ 2015-2019 earlier in the day.
I also did save often - like every time something major happened or even just when I thought about it - and I had a few points where it lagged to the point I thought it was going to crash but didn't.
But basically, I freed up as much memory as possible for the game to use, and I'm not using mods until after next week's hotfix patch.
I did read something about lowering your audio quality to low, which I may experiment with as well.
Lol, I have something like 60 tabs open on google chrome and played without any issues for several hours. I did save like maybe every hour, but it played just fine, until it eventually crashed. :smiley:
I'm trying to help other people who are having crashing issues after 5-30 minutes of play in Live mode. If you don't have this problem, then, of course, my advice won't work for you.
