Hello survivors!

I'm having an issue as the title might hint towards and it seems I might not be the only one experiencing this (www.reddit.com/r/dyinglight2/comments/1knp8nb/)
The game will boot and run fine for a solid 5-10 minutes upon where it will randomly just freeze (with the game seemingly still running as you can hear the audio of events happening) followed by a hard crash to desktop a couple seconds later.

I recently upgraded my PC specs but I had never experienced anything like this with my previous specs.
Here's a list of what my specs are currently (the noteworthy ones at least)
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700x3D (Upgraded from a Ryzen 7 2600x)
GPU: GeForce 5060 Ti 16GB (Upgraded from a 3060 ti 8GB)

The game is installed on my SSD, shouldn't be the issue though.
Settings are all as GeForce Experience auto tuned it alongside my drivers on everything being up-to-date.
As mentioned earlier, I had no issue prior to upgrading alongside the game running fine (currently experiencing it again in the inner loop part of the game), had absolutely no issues upon a reinstall when it happened before.

I'm already aware that the 50 series/frame generation for the game seems bugged, so I'm mainly leaning towards the fact that its just my graphics card being "unsupported".

If you need any more information, let me know-- Thanks!

To add onto this actually, in case it matters the game is downloaded and bought through Steam

I think If I remember correctly the 50xx lineup gpu drivers have some issues with the game

#

so try downgrading the drivers to an earlier version and see if that fixes it

I definitely won't lie, work got to me and I haven't been able to try it-- I'm currently looking up and older driver and I'll let you know once I boot up the game

Dont bother i figured out that its the new 50 series cards frame generation, been playing crash free without it turned on now

Oh? I can't even run it with frame gen on myself since it blackscreened so I've been playing with it off

#

Well... black screen but with full audio/game functions well, just no visual
