exactly the same amount of crashes on FS8.1 as Win 7 & 8--
ie. some, like 1 every hour of constant patching

Save more often!

I'm not talking of the autosave feature. When I manually save, say, every 10 minutes, I experience no crashes whatsoever.

I save after most most working changes and frequently make a new version number as I make progress. This has got me out of trouble quite a few times since FS can sometimes corrupt the schematic file (I think). I can then go back and re-do from a recent working version.
However, I found another good way to reduce crashes is to close FS down and re-open it after a few additons. I believe this is to do with the in-built undo history. Unusually for a Windows app, after a save operation you can still undo so therefore I conclude the app is storing lots of temporary data from every change you make. Closing the program will clear the memory. When developing my Q50 I sometimes had "Out of memory" errors, probably due to the large amount of embedded samples in that project. Closing and re-opening FS stopped this from happening.

Cheers
