I'm a noobie.
All I have done is started the game. At first, I could play for about an hour before the game would crash. I'd come back and start where I left off.
But after a while, it started to crash more often until now it crashes after about 10 minutes. This last time I anticipated it crashing so I left the game and came back; my new character was there where I left off.
But then it crashed again, and when I came back it was asking for me to create a new character.
The really sad part is, at one point, when I first started playing, I went for days with the same character left the Freepost, started building on a new island, and... It crashed, and I lost everything. I had to start with a new character.
Now I play for 10 -15 minutes, it crashes, and I start all over.
I have included my Device Manager info. I'm thinking my PC just can't handle it.
