Since the game was released I've been having random stutter and crashes to desktop approximately every 5-20 minutes, on version 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. Since this hasn't been a common problem reported I assumed it was something specific to my system, and since I've had similar issues with other games, though less frequent, I'd assumed it had to be a driver or memory issue on my side.
Several days ago while doing some internet searching I found a thread linking such problems potentially to realtek HD audio drivers in certain games and decided to try removing it and reverting to the default windows HD audio driver. Through multiple playthroughs after reverting the driver I can guarantee that ON MY SYSTEM, it was the culprit. Even more so because windows update kept re-'updating' the driver to the realtek one behind my back and causing the crashes to return (I've since figured out how to prevent it auto-updating to the realtek drivers).
I'm reporting this in case this is a wider issue with other users. If there is anything I can provide to help find a link between the drivers and the crashes, let me know
