Had a lot of that during my playthrough. Updated my Nvidia drivers recently and now it's started crashing to desktop a whole lot more as well.
Fantastic game, but the stability of the PC port is questionable at best. Bethesda doing Bethesda things.

So the remaster just remastered the bugs as well?
Solid I'd say, true to the craft.
Finally got around to having a blast at 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33'
Still pretty early into the game (Just unlocked Esquie) really good so far.
I'm terrible at the parrying at the moment, I thought all my hours in Sekiro would serve me well, but the timing is difficult to get right, it feels like the timing is later than you'd think. Very satisfying when you pull it off though.
Story seems intriguing, great cast as well. I could have sworn Gustav looked far too much like Robert Pattinson, but turns out it's Charlie Cox of Daredevil fame.
Andy Serkis in there as well.
Enjoying it so far over all.
The music, as many have mentioned is incredible. There's this live performance of it on YouTube that a mate put me on to and it's superb. VGM as a genre has come a long way!

Wife started playing it so I'm just watching but damn, what a game, even if the combat system isn't really my thing - they look awesome but I'm just not that fond of the style here, even if it is something you obviously get used to.
The music is great but I'm more pleasantly surprised by the overall environment and creatures in it - going to the gestral villages and seeing the banter they have between themselves and you, some of the actual memes they recite and speak/play out (the "this is fine" gestral in a room of fire
), and all the things to interact with make it feel so alive. Also the banter is 10/10 dad jokes for some things, as well as creature names being silly on purpose but the creatures themselves being spoken of like some strong mythical enemy (sakapatate and some others). Esquie and histurtle best friend were really funny too, the characters breaking the 4th wall for a second due to how to bizarre it is hahah
Thinking about it, I'm glad we have some independent great new games in the RPG genre(s), as well as others (Manor Lords and the likes too). Really happy that people saw what Swen Vincke said at the game awards, that devs should make a game that they themselves want to play, not what sells.
There has been a bigger movement to return to the "basics" though - sound design stagnated for a while imho and/or was seen as a separate thing from the music, now we're returning to music, sound, ambience being made together and being more coherent. Expedition33 is that way, BG3 was as well, and it's done so well in both that it catches people off guard (Raphael's song being very notable imho, Expedition33 is overall great for it so far). A good friend of me and my wife's a classically trained opera singer and sang on Baldur's Gate 3** (the sound/music designer is Bulgarian, a lot of the singers are too) and said it was probably the most professional thing she's ever done, they just let Borislav Slavov absolutely COOK for the whole game and all the things came off great. Old games used to be made that way too, System Shock might've been some weird revenge techno mix but during the game it fits surprisingly well and you can see why it's that way, Homeworld overall has some weird droning/organ music (and Adagio for Strings, used incredibly well) but it fits the game and sounds good on its own too. Comparing it to Greedfall (cuz I played it recently) - the music is good but honestly something's missing - for most of VGM you're probably tying it to a moment/feeling/reveal/etc., but Greedfall has mostly "generic" sounding music you forget as soon as you close the game, which is sad considering the environment the game is set in.
What's more impressive regarding Expedition33 is that the composer is like 25 and this is her first time ever doing anything like that and they found her on soundcloud or something. The whole story about making the game is insane and fantastic to see, a true passion project on all sides.
Anyway ramble mode off I guess
** She was a colleague of my wife's for years at the time and just dropped it mid-lunch break like "oh hey you guys like games/DnD right? I sang for this game that's doing well, Baldur's Gate 3"
BG3 was already out and winning awards for months at that time too hahah
Obviously only a first look but not totally convinced by this. Although I did enjoy the last Hitman game so will hold off on judgement.
My wife makes fun of me for playing that type of game, as well as using my steering wheel for the occasional eurotruck sim
Transport Fever 2 is a great game.
