Alright I've tried everything I can think of. I've updated drivers, I've switched between game ready and studio drivers. I've checked my RAM health, I've updated my windows, my direct X, my security. I've ran it as admin, I've ran it on the lowest settings. I've switched to windowed and full screen. I've 'Override high DPI scaling behavior.' I've unistalled/reinstalled, I've verified game files. I've looked for events. I am running out of patience.
I just really want to play this game. It happens often, but not at consistent times. Sometimes when I go to long rest, in combat, exploring, fighting, casting spells. I can't seem to find a pattern. I don't know what else to try...
Below is the info I can gleam from WinDbg. Does anyone have any ideas?
