Crashing Fixed?

[White_Hoodlum]

So not sure if this was the result of the most recent patch (doubtful) but I may have found a solution to my constant crashing:

Specs:
i9 13900k
RTX 4090
2x16GB DDR5 7600MHz
Monitor is 1440p 240hz

Running the game on Max settings, at 1440p at pretty stable 120fps. But I was constantly crashing, sometimes i could play for an extended period of time (1hr+), others less than 5min. I am on Chapter 4 right now. Mostly crash to desktop, but on occassion I would get the D3D12 DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error message.

What I noticed was within the game settings, when running at max 120fps, my CPU utilization was at 100%. When i lowered it to 60FPS, it significantly reduced my CPU utilization (like down to 50%) and CPU Temp. But who wants to play at 60fps with the beast of the PC I have....so i capped the frame rate in Nvidia Control Panel at 100fps. Its a compromise, but I havent crashed since. Still running on all max settings. CPU utilization running around 65%, and CPU Temps in the 60s.

Horrible optimization...but it seems like the game doesn't know what to do with the uncapped frames...could be the culprit for crashing, as well as the 100% CPU utilization. I'll report back if anything changes, but so far so good. Hope this helps someone
