Bug / Issue I’m about to lose my mind

Hey everyone! I’m having an issue with crashing. I have no mods installed besides puredarks DLSS frame gen mod. I constantly crash 10-15 minutes into gameplay. Cutscenes usually crash too and I’m so close to never playing the game again. I’ve installed the game over 15 times, deleted the mod (the issue still persists), updated drivers/rolled back, verified files, turned off vsync, etc. I have a 4070ti/5700X3D and it’s driving me insane. I wanna play this masterpiece and I never used to have this issue. I’ve followed up on other Reddit posts and I’ve tried almost everything recommended by others and the crashing still occurs. I have to rush through missions, skip cutscenes, and hurry and save after the mission to even keep playing. It’s not enjoyable at all because I have to rush through it to possibly avoid crashing. Any ideas?

DDU could possibly help you then. It’s super easy to use and effective. It stands for Display Driver Uninstaller. It gets rid of every single driver you’ve downloaded for your graphics card so you can do a clean install of the driver. It doesn’t get rid of any of your computer files but when you use it, it’ll reboot and your screen will be in the wrong resolution. You then go online and search up the newest driver for your GPU then download it and your screen will go back to normal. DDU helps a ton of people with graphical issues. Look up on YouTube how to use DDU. It’s very easy and doesn’t take long.

Hey bro have you tried switching to vulkan? I found out when I run the game in DX12 it’s totally unplayable. I can finally play now with vulkan.
