I'm a computer engineer. The basic rule of reliability of complex systems says: "Every system is only as reliable as its weakest link".
Speaking of standard single player game, we have two major factors that affect overall reliability: a computer hardware and game software.
In addition to that, SH5 will introduce two new factors: a stability of your internet connection AND reliability of server-side technology. And I consider these new factors as weakest part of whole system.
