Here's a "Me Too" as well, all cores steadily increase when the game is run, graphics settings seem to be irrelevant (low or high it doesn't seem to affect the speed at which the game crashes). The quieter the area the more time I have (Revenants Toll is usually near instant unless I log on at off hours). Seems to be related to the number of characters on the screen/nearby.

Played around with every option I could think of, might try removing the sound card next to see if its related to that...

Hoping for a solution soon
