    It crashed a lot when I played it on windows too. I tried playing it a couple of times, but always gave up partway through because it kept crashing. There are some mods that are supposed to help with stability, I should try it again and see if they fix it.

      I remember on launch it was a fucking miracle if the PC version could get past the intro screen. The fact that it’s remotely stable now is a bloody miracle.
