I'm still completely amazed about how many crashes there will be in a single session...I mean...especially during weight paint...its to a point that is almost funny to me. Now I'm using a technique I used while playing Tomb Raider on PC long time ago, meaning that instead of the F5 quicksave, I just Ctrl+s every 5-10 minutes, but sometimes I still forgot to do that, and I loose 20-30 minutes of work, because the crashes happen that often.
