When this kind of crash happened, the game displayed the usual crash dialog for a fraction of a second only, then continued to run without displaying the dialog. This behavior also made it impossible to send a crash report to A-Net via that dialog, hence this thread.
When the game continued to run, an invisible area of the size of the dialog window was still in place, so whenever I clicked into that area on the screen, the game window minimized and I found myself back on the desktop. Very annoying, since it made actions like opening chests impossible.
It didn't make much sense to continue playing in this scenario anyway, because the game's audio output became "wobbly" for lack of a better word - the volume changed a lot, and the so-called Environmental Effects (which are enabled) were suddenly all over the place.
Interestingly, this is the first time since the update dropped that I've encountered this kind of problem, and I've played at least 10 hrs since.
