This bugs me.

My game client still crashes regularly, typically at least once a day, typically when I am engaged with time-intensive high-reward content (thereby maximizing the amount of time I waste, as well as maximizing the damage done in terms of lost progression).

I would like to see “small, very frequent updates” until this crashing behavior is rectified. Why do I get the impression basic/fundamental game client stability is a relatively low priority?

Frustrating.

P.S. I run a 64-bit client (as far as I know), on a fully updated 64-bit Windows 10 running a fully updated NVidia driver.

Update: I was not running a 64-bit client, of course. But I have “upgraded” to the new (beta) 64-bit client. Been a couple of days, and NO crashes. In fact, the difference has been rather amazing.

Another expedient (for those who don’t have the capability to run the 64-bit client) might be to exit the 32-bit client proactively at regular intervals (every 2 hours, more often if possible)… basically “garbage collect” by restarting the application. Being in a group would facilitate this (you could recover your map by taxiing back on group-mates, and if you are quick enough at getting back in, you could retain your meta-event progress).
