I've played on high settings before the update (except for volumetric light - medium) - i7700, 1070, 16Gb, 1080p. After re-installing the game today it has crashed, badly. Screen was filled with black-white rectangles, PC locked up, I thought I've lost my laptop. I've never seen crashes like this. Even crypto-mining doesn't crash PC this hard.
Somehow the game launched on second attempt and immediately went to 100% GPU load without even displaying anything (before BattleEye alert). Now it's either 100 GPU load on high settings or 100% CPU load on medium. Although the game look noticeably better on high.
Can't/won't play while expecting laptop to catch fire. Scary stuff. It's amazing how the same company can release an absolute marvel of a game (Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, my game of the decade) and then The Division 2 and GRB, almost killing my PC.
