from this specific crash, I can see that a worker thread is stuck in sl. Which is related to Nvidia reflex and DLSS (perhaps something more Nvidia related).

Might be worth turning those feature off and see if you get better luck running the game.

I will ask Nvidia what’s happening since I can’t debug their code.
