So far the Steam version has been great for me. My first and only crash is happening inside the back entrance to Shimmering Grove, when you try and pick up the "Diary of a Miner" book in the small room on the bookshelf. As soon as it's selected, the game freezes and crashes.
Welcome to the forum and thanks 
It´s a known bug. Fixed in the next patch
