Recently when playing on a dedicated server the game will sporadically crash. The time frames between crashes have been upwards of an hour or so and as short as a couple minutes after joining the server.
So far I've tried verifying game files, reinstalling the game, clearing the C:\Users\user\Zomboid folder, unsubscribing from all mods, updating graphics drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling Java, and running sfc /scannow.
This is the first time I've encountered this type of error. The only thing I can think of that may be causing the crash would be that I recently swapped by 3060 Ti for a 7800 XT. I've attached the crash log file for more information.

Can you check the Windows Reliability monitor for any ProjectZomboid application crashes there? If you do find any, can you share a screenshot of the Technical Details section so we can check the errors that show up there?

Generally, BEX64 event is usually related to the graphics
The err pid you sent also seems to show some light rendering errors
Try following the DDU guide here:

Basically a full driver uninstall, and I would uninstall both your AMD + any Nvidia driver leftovers
That's what I figured as well. I did try rolling back the drivers but that didn't yield a fix. I'll go ahead and do a clean install with ddu
I did a clean install of the latest AMD drivers and the game crashed after a couple minutes. I did use DDU before installing the new GPU so there shouldn't have been any Nvidia files left over, but I did an uninstall of those next. The game ran for about 30 minutes before it crashed again. The details of the crash are the same as before unfortunately.
You can try lowering some settings, such as lowering / disabling the puddle quality and reflections first
I went through and did that as the problematic frame changed to [Lighting64.dll+0xef74]. It didn't fix the crashing unfortunately but I found a post on the forums with the same error cause that said their fix was related to their DRAM XMP profile. I checked in the bios and my DRAM voltage was a little too low, so I upped it to the correct voltage. The game has been running stable for a little over an hour, which I believe has been the longest it's gone without crashing so far.
Interesting, I would have assumed the XMP settings would be stable by themselves
