  2. ahh classic if you use overlays or mods, disable them all and test. Overlays from Discord, recording software and RGB apps can all cause crashes. Mods are the first suspect after twelve hours if anything updated recently.

  3. Welcome aboard. Verify the game files in ur launcher (on Steam: right click > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity). Corrupted files after an update are a common cause of crashes in a specific area.

  4. been there man clean install the graphics driver: download the latest from teh GPU maker, use DDU in Safe Mode to remove the old one, then install fresh. It fixes a surprising number of crash to desktop issues.
