What works
I played some tutorials without problems.
With direct play over a vpn, I could play several 2...3hours evening sessions in endless mode with a friend and I remember only a crash once or twice.
What does not
When using "very high" graphic settings, the game started to miss textures after ~20minutes into the multiplayer game, and finally crashed. The console log indicated failing to allocate space for textures memory. I could complete the tutorials with highest graphics settings - but maybe they are not long enough.
Workarounds
This cashes about the graphic disappeared when using "low" (first few hours) or "medium" (later on) graphics presets.
What was not tested
Discover LAN games without entering the IP of the host.
Using "play over internet"
The add-on
If crashes are present with the "high" graphic preset.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
If you get the error message about a version mismatch, check the IP of your host twice. The game tells you "wrong version" even if you enter an IP no PC is using or not running the game.
