    This issue now seems to be fixed in the 1.68.154.1220 November 2020 patch.

I can confirm windowed mode makes the crashes even worse and more frequent. In windowed mode, the game locks and freezes immediately upon attempting to do... basically anything.

Moved to medium mode and crippled all graphics.
