Fun game, but can never play much. Game crashes regularly. System is generally very stable, and I have tried turning off all background apps. Diappointing that game did nto ship more stable. Had same problem before I switched to Beta.
final error is from debug file is:
Debug Message: Error flipping back buffer to primary buffer.
Debug Message: Device lost
First page of debug file is:
