PC specs:
CPU: AMD R7 7800X3D
MB: Asus TUF x670E Wifi Plus
GPU: Asus TUF RTX 4090
RAM: 64GB DDR5 6400
Nvidia Driver: 551.76 (same behavior on 552.22)
The game is installed on an SSD (NVME tb2 Samsung).
I played fine last night for several hours (FPS between 60 and 100 on Quality settings with HDR, only turned off motion blur).
Started a new character on a new realm. The game crashes after around the 5 or 10 min mark. Windows Event View is not overly helpful.
Problem history in security and maintenance says the same thing.
Ran file verification in Steam
chkdsk
trim
updated gpu driver
rebooted
same behavior, crashes every 5-10 mins. Happens faster in new realms, but still happens in my realm from last night as well.
