Torchlight, an example of a major problem with PC gaming

I've seen others on gamefaqs complain about the same thing with Torchlight. Torchlight afaik saves the game only when you exit (just like Diablo II). So you know what that means? You should periodically exit the game and then load it up again (a bit tedious but better safe than sorry) just in case another crash comes. Thankfully Torchlight hasn't crashed on me once. And that's with me having IM, Firefox and downloading all kinds of stuff at high speeds in the background. Maybe Torchlight doesn't like your particular virus scanner or your particular graphics card or some combination or whatever. PC gaming can be a real pain in the ass because of this. Because you never know what could be the problem. Console gaming is generally more stable because the hardware is standardized and the game is programmed for that particular piece of hardware.

Torchlight saves constantly, not just at exit.

Also: the only problems I've had w/ PC games in, literally, years is that some app running in the background is causing the game to crash--killing those extra apps generally does the trick.
