Random freezing and unfreezing
The game likes to sputter ever now and then. Like a freeze/lock up for 1-10 seconds, then continues on it's way. Doesn't usually crash, it does recover, but the "pausing" effect is fairly regular, like every few minutes or so.

(mileage may vary and it was just a guess but it worked for me)
At the main launcher where you choose Vulkan or Dx11 if you look to the very bottom left of that screen there is a gear icon. Click on that. Then in the settings General tab you will see a box that says "Enable Gameplay Stats Tracking" Unclick that box.

I came to the conclusion that data is being sent constantly and during alot of data transfer moments it can bog the game down slightly, cuasing that brief stutter/lag like effect, or sometimes a total freeze for a few seconds and during that time it feels like the game is crashing but then doesn't.

Hopefully that fixes it for you, it did for me and I went from having that weird lag/freeze to sometimes a crash every half hour or so, to being able to complete the early access with no freezes or crashes after I did that.
