Since it seems you're using DX11: Have you tried switching to Vulkan?


Also: Since you didn't state your config, I'm going to assume you're on an Nvidia GPU. I did have a couple of weird crashes (hard ones, two or three BSODs on Win 11) a few hot-fixes ago which were a complete thing of the past for me, so those were a bit of a head-scratcher. Especially since the last time those happened it turned out to be an actual hardware-problem.

This time however, it turned out that something had gone wrong with the latest NV-drivers - either a semi-botched installation or it was the drivers themselves. Which have been reported as being problematic (to put it mildly ... 576.20, IIRC). Most of the problems that I've seen reported involve 50xx-series cards - but that doesn't mean older cards cannot also run into problems with these drivers. I'm running a 4070 Super, for example.

After doing the usual cleanup stuff like running SFC, I checked the Windows crash-logs which seemed to point to some sort of driver-related issue causing this. And since the only change I had made to my system recently was that I had updated the NV-drivers on that very day, I assumed it was those that were causing the trouble.

What I did to "fix" this was re-install the drivers, using the "custom installation -> clean installation"-option(s) and leaving the boxes checked for the two other drivers the installer wants to "update". Did a restart afterwards and the crashes were gone.
