Good news, after upgrading to 1.21 stable, running the DISM, and re-running a few of the utilities in WhoCrashed, my game now seems stable. Thank you to everyone who commented in this thread. I'm off to start leatherworking!

Thanks for the recommendations, Moltrey. I'll give that a shot.

Spoke too soon. BSOD.

Update: Based on a related thread on Reddit, I toggled my graphics settings down one (from High), and I don't seem to be having any issues any more. I'm not sure which specific setting is the culprit, but things seem good now!

Every time it happens (freeze or BSOD), I am interacting with a block in some way. Either chopping a tree, or cutting grass, or (the most recent) panning some sand. Never happens when I'm just walking around, standing still, reading the help text, etc.

So I originally was using the 1.20.12 release. After all the issues, I reinstalled using the 1.21 release candidate instead. I got a solid hour in this morning before the game froze (no blue screen, but hard locked my system so that I had to manually power cycle).

So I have now uninstalled every instance of .Net from my system, uninstalled VS, rebooted, reinstalled the latest VS, and reinstalled .Net v8 (as per installer notes). The game will now run for between 30 and 60 minutes before throwing a BSOD. I'm running an overnight memory check now just to rule that out, but no other game is having these issues. Really frustrating, as I like what I've seen in VS so far, but this frequent crashing is going to make me abandon it.

Thanks for the welcome, and the reply! I'm brand new to the game, so I only installed it yesterday. I'll try a fresh install tomorrow, I guess.

I just did an install of .Net 9.0.304 (most recent version) and the game crashed again not 10 minutes in. :(

I'm having the same issue.
