Computer specs are well-above minimum specs:

* Core i7-8700K CPU. (default clock speeds; CPU never exceeds 40% utilization)
* 16 GB RAM. (ram usage never exceeds ~13 GB)
* NVMe M2 SSD
* GTX 980 Ti GPU. (default clock speeds)

I run the game at medium settings at 1440p resolution, I get 40+ FPS consistently.

I am running 0 mods, and I am running 0 other applications in the background.

I have the most recent drivers.

Regardless of whether I use Directx11 or Vulkan, the game crashes often.

I even bought a new GPU, an RX 6700 XT, the game still crashes despite running at all MEDIUM graphics settings (Dx11 or Vulkan; in fact Vulkan crashes upon start). I've verified game integrity 5x.

No other game crashes. I can run PUBG or WoW for hours, 0 issues.

The game ONLY crashes when I "do" something. It could be quick-traveling, it could be in the middle of combat, it could be talking to a merchant. But if I AFK and leave the game running and don't touch it, it doesn't crash. The game is bugged as hell. And the recent hot"fixes" have made it worse; on release day I played for 12+ hours with 0 crashes.
