I've been playing BG3 for the last couple months, got over 100 hours and had no issues, but the last 2/3 days (since the hotfix #30 realistically) whenever I try to play the game it completely freezes, sometimes unfreezing and letting me carry on until it happens again but most of the time it completely freezes my PC where I can't force close from Steam, CTRL + ALT + DEL or anything. I have to force turn off my PC directly and reboot entirely.

I'm not playing with any mods and I've tested other games (Elden Ring, Horizon, Monster Hunter, Destiny 2) and these all run with no issues so I'm not sure what's causing it. I've tried both launchers (primarily I've been using DirectX 11), re-varifying game files, rolling back drivers, lowering graphics settings, and turning off my DPI scaling as per the troubleshooting but no success. The only other thing I can consider is uninstalling the game and re-installing but I don't see how this would help. As I've been having to turn off my PC completely the game itself hasn't 'crashed' so there are no crash reports, but it is still unplayable and causes the whole PC to freeze.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
