Hi,this game is great but has some critical performance issues even with a good multicore-pc and a decent GPU.I think that the real bottleneck for the game is GPU processing, but this sometimes cause \"FATAL ERROR\" during some combats.To avoid that i tried mainly 2 things:1) Change windows virtual memory settings: at least 8GB of windows virtual memory2) Put graphical settings down even if you normally don\'t have fps problems: al settings to MEDIUM and after that 75% of scaling settings in 1080p resolution.This settings helped me to avoid \"FATAL ERRORS\" expecially playing the quest \"INTO THE WOODS\".Max.
