PC still hard crashing

I’m at my wits end. This is the only reason I’m playing the game less. My PC hard crashes not randomly, but randomly. It mostly happens on open area maps in daylight, Savannah, Oasis, Steppe, etc, and during breaches most of all. I have set cpu affinity, set cpu usage to -5, every setting is on low, checked my psu, I’ve tried everything I can find through google and nothing has worked.

7600x3d
Rx7600
16gb ram (I know I need to upgrade but this shouldn’t be the problem)

Can anybody recommend anything I haven’t mentioned? Is this just a weird specific use case GGG hasn’t or can’t fix?

Love the game and want to play it more but I’m worried my hardware will be affected. This is the only game I have crashing issues with. I had a freeze with Avowed during loading the other day, but nothing else even crashes to desktop/hard crashes my PC

try vulkan, less crashes.
I’ve switched to and have been in Vulcan.

Vulkan requires less power, around 10W, but has much longer loading screens and sometimes a "pixels jittering" on very detailed surfaces. 7900XT native 2560x1440
If you know 100% that's not caused by your hardware, it's recommended to "upgrade" from Windows 11 to Windows 10 if you haven't already since most of the crashes happens in Win11.

I'm using Win10, I've tried all settings. Vulkan is worse for me. Also disabling multithreading is also worse for me.

Random crashes every 2-3 days, sound is jammed, system is frozen, hard shut down required.

Bios updated, gpu drivers updated, I work in IT. Nothing works, it's the game.
I have no ideas where the crashes comes from if you're using Windows 10, I use it as well but I rarely crash ever, at that point there's a chance it's caused by hardware, whatever it's overheating or the PSU can't handle the wattage/amperage required has this unoptimized game drains a lot of powers from what I noticed.

The scary thing is, the game can crash on Idle. In your hideout, well at least it does for me. Every 2 hours, i close the game and reopen it because animations are starting to get laggy. I'm using a minion build with 20 minions, that probably dosen't help even on idle.

I'm using CPU-Z and GPU-Z for monitoring and I haven't seen anything weird in there. Which monitoring tool do you use?
Not on the Users End...

For Example, before last update Finally everything worked just Fine, no stuttering, no Freezes etc.
Then, new Patch, old Problems. I don´t care anymore, i won´t turn my Machine up and down to get this Crap Running.


Rtx4080, Ryzen 7 7800x3d, 32gb Ram, SSD

just this Game makes Trouble, even 4500 Ships in X4 can´t do anything to my system, Frontiers of Pandora on max Settings, but this Mediocre (at best) Game makes me sweat that it could kill my Data :D Stopped Playing.
