Yes, I tried disabling V-Sync too, but now I'm running on max graphics settings again with V-Sync back on since the solution for me personally was apparently to cap the game to 30 FPS (as games used to be back then) plus run the .exe in WinXP compability mode.
Had no crashes since then. So keeping this post in the archive for others who could run into the same issue.
Edit: Oh and disabling Steam overlay as well. Not sure which one of those fixed it.
Thanks anyway for your time, Raze.
