CC3 Crashes. A LOT!
I have purchased CC3 few weeks ago and been playing with it a bit. What strikes me though is it is totally unstable. And I mean TOTALLY!
More details:
I run CC3 on two laptops:
Setup1:
Lenovo T61P Duo 2.6GHz
4GB Ram
Windows 2008 Server
Setup2:
Dell D820 Duo 1.83GHz
2GB Ram
Windows Vista
On both of them i experience random crashes. Most of them at least since now i have identified where it crashes almost always and when it always crashes.
Can't describe random crashes other than they happen while performing normal work - i.e. adding symbols and stuff - I can live with it since i learned soon to use ctrl+s.
The not so random crashes are when i try to save the map as image.
Here it usually depends on the map size / image size / sheet effects. Don't really know yet. What i do know is that saving as PNG/JPG is not working well on neither of the machines. Tried asking support about it but got no answer other than the image size i'm trying to save is too large (was trying over over 10k * 10k pixels). But as I said it's random. Sometimes I can export a 4k/4k image sometimes I can't. Same with the default resolution of 800/600.
Does anyone else have the same problems as I do? Is it the Windows 2008/Vista that's the issue or it's just how CC3 is?

As for random crashes: I am using Vista, but on a powerful desktop computer. I almost never get random crashes.
Thanks.
As a side note:
I noticed last time on the same map I'm working on - the one that crashes a lot, that when it manages to survive the first few possible crash points then it's almost invincible :-)
