The game freezes and crashes to the Windows Desktop usually after 40-60 minutes of play, then around every 20 minutes there after. This has happened in the last 3 or 4 builds and also the last experimental build.
I've changing my graphics settings to below what they were but still the same problem.
There is nothing in particular that I'm doing, usually when I'm moving.

I have had this problem for some time now and it is getting worse. There is no set time period. I can play for several hours and nothing will happen then other times within 30 mins the game will drop to desktop. It will happen more often if the field of view is maxed out. When you drop the field of view the game drops to desktop less. Since the last update with the field of view at its lowest setting I'm dropping down to the desktop more often than the .45 version. I could play all day on .45 with the lowest field of view setting and no crash.
