Almost.....not

Ok, so a few days of updates on the game performance. Right now I am mostly on potato settings, with only the screen resolution being upped (2560x1440 60Hz) And here is what I got recently. I also installed at Intels' request the newest WHQL certified driver for the onboard graphics, even though they are not in use. This had just been released in the last few days. Sadly, it made no difference.

3/11 This run was in the afternoon, and after a fresh boot of the PC, not even mail checking before playing. lasted a whole 13 minutes before a crash, box details below. This was a pretty simple logon, cycle retainers, MSQ, Allied society quests and some idling, total session was 3.5 hours

3/12 Oh I thought it had fixed itself. A glorious 4h21m session with no crashes at all. And I was all over the game, retainers, crafting, MSQ, Guildhests, Firmament, Allied quests, gathering, pretty much everything and no issues.

3/13 Reality returns. Logged in and 1h39 minutes in (in the middle of a Firmament Fete) crash out with no box. Logged back in and got another 25 minutes in before I finished what I needed and logged out. Too bad.
