I've got an update:
I re-burned the game at 2x speed and didn't use my computer at all while burning to minimize buffer issues. Since I've done this (after around 3 hrs of gameplay), there have been no freezes whatsoever. I'll post a follow up to this if I encounter a freeze, but for the time...
Hey guys, really enjoying this game so far. I'm getting seemingly random game freezes. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm using the backup launcher gamma.
btw i feel this a good time to remind you guys that sea of thieves was made by rare, who also made DKC1-3 and DK64, alongside banjo kazooie and conker's bad fur day
