Unfortunately every time I've paused it for any length of time it freezes and the only way to do anything is kill the process... which also means you lose any progress.

    Well that's a drag.  I googled a bit but freezing fixes are years old.  I haven't tried the game myself as yet
 

I managed to fix it I think, at least it hasn't happened again yet and I paused it for a good while while walking the dog.
None of the fixes I found seemed like the right thing to try, but then I remembered DD:DA had the same issue which was fixed by using windowed instead of full screen mode (actually I remember issues going back at least as far as Fallout 3, on Win 7 I think, at the time with fullscreen) so I changed to windowed mode.
I'm starting to get into it a bit more, the fire fights seem fairly easy for me now.  I managed to clear out a whole mansion of what seemed like 50 enemies and a boss, and killed another boss.  I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing yet, but they at least give you a main mission for each area which hasn't been hard to follow.  I also managed to get to the 2nd day without getting 'looped' (though it just loops you back anyway, but at least I wasn't forced by 3 deaths in an area.)
Kind of irritating you can't keep any weapons or powers.  I assume you're supposed to plan around getting them.  Kind of like groundhog day you keep learning things and trying things, except the bosses seem to remember each day as well as you.
