but its just unplayable cos of the "update" its trying to do
that update happens to everyone, everywhere, every time, it's normal and only happens before the game launches so wouldn't affect your gameplay anyway...
part from that, best advice I can give you is to make sure V-Sync is on so your card doesn't overheat and play around with the settings including resolution and view mode (full screen is usually more stable than windowed bit more prone to crashing during alt tab).
if it's a rendering thing, then probably lower the view distance and shadow settings.
Finally, I found that the more distance I put between the starter zone and me, the less I crashed.
They haven't finished stabilising the game, but it's already better than last week.
