Stephen has been playing the game on his beastly Alienware rig and hasn't experienced any major issues relating to crashes. His review will be going up shortly. Playing on my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti though, my big problem was getting the game to launch when it first arrived on PC. And since then have only experienced one crash and a few instances of stuttering, mainly in cinematic sequences. Outside of that though it's a stunningly beautiful game - especially when played in ultrawide (via the Benq EX3501R).
