On day 2 of the prologue when Jenna chaperones Elli, their final scene in the central market blackscreens and never recovers. It's the scene with peeping at the park couple having sex. You can hear the sex sounds over the black screen, but when the scene "ends"(?), a bit of clicking crashes the game. Won't bother with the crash log, because it changes every time depending on where you click, so that's just UB territory after the game's already been broken. Happens in 0.2.2 as well.
edit:
Kifa's brothel scene blackscreens. Taleona's first bar chat blackscreens. I bet I haven't encountered all of that shit yet. zzzzzzzzzzz.......... How the fuck is there no hotfix for these stupid oversights 8 months later? I can understand trying to sweep fixes into the next release if it's coming next month, but it's laughable to apply that concept when your timeframe is years.
I guess the devs are nailing down the most important aspect of their game: Replicating the broken, bugged, unfinished, rushed mess that was Arcanum.
edit 2:
Caught the girl thief in Artaun for the third time. Walkthrough says a sex scene ensues and a story tangent gets unlocked. Meanwhile, in the real world: BLACKSCREEN, MOTHERFUCKER. Deleting another large part of the walkthrough that's teased but inaccessible due to "bugs". Starting to feel this is on purpose. Almost all of the secondary quests or events seem to be inaccessible via black screen of fuck you. This is some of the best art I've ever seen in a smut game, but the Russian grift is brutal. The rework of the old content leaves out... a lot of the old content. I pity every patron.

Encountered another crash and I'm out. This game looks stunning, I was absolutely ready to forgive the movement jank since this has to be a programmer's nightmare in rpgmv. The world building is fantastic. The writing is decent enough, despite shortcircuited russian reasoning of all characters. Which means flip-flopping between high-flying abstract idealism and total nihilism, I'm a goody two shoes but eh world is a fuck, it is what it is, so even Lawful Good characters are okay with slavery. But whatevs, steampunk porn carries.... until it doesn't. The main chars are "long term relationships" so no action there, all of the smut is carried by secondary characters, but those are almost universally bugged (on purpose?). So you might get some nicely drawn scenes of tit groping maybe. Then you talk for 45 minutes in an unskippable sequence, forget to save... and blackscreen. I just can't anymore. :/
