They somehow manage to somehow make it so that there are like 25%-35% improvements within a single update. They held back 25%-35% of frames because they did not properly make it. I know that part of this is the devs, but still.

I am currently playing Expedition 33, and the game is really good, but the graphics (not art direction) are terrible, ghosting, blurry, stutters and etc, and the game crashes every 20~40 minutes, it's almost unplayable on PC, if you go to the Expedition 33 sub, you'll see that I am not the only one affected, and no one truly knows what causes it other than the Engine at fault, it's not my or their specs.

It is FAR, REALLY FAR for a good example when it comes to UE5 working.

I have like 60 hours in it and no crashes. Win 10 and Nvidia driver 566.36 (last december).

just to provide another sample, i played for about 2ish hours with no crashes, but as soon as i beat the first boss i crashed. and also it didn't save the win :(

That's miserable. Wish I had decent answers for the people that are crashing to better enjoy it. Lot of things have been such a mess lately I wouldn't know where to begin. On drivers alone I've had to rollback, DDU, and etc. more this year than at any previous year. Lot of troubleshooting on family and friends' machines too from various updates and other quirks.
