If anyone else is having a crashing problem, I found a potential alternative fix not mentioned in other posts.

[Reizie]

My fix was to clear Steam's download cache in Steam settings.

I'm not sure how or why that resolved my crashing problem though, I can only guess but I'm not a tech sav.

My problem was that I was unable to create a shader cache file properly, every time the compiling shaders screen on game launch finished I would start game to go into a lobby and then crash a few seconds after loading into the world. Subsequent game launch would also compile shaders again (faster than from a clean re-install) but none of it would actually be saved into a file in the game directory.

Then later on after I tried some other fixes I would get an error message:
"steamwebhelper.exe - Application Error
The exception unknown software exception (0xe0000008)
occurred in the application at location 0x00007FFFF0FFB699."

Which helped lead me to Steam being the problem so I suspected and tried clearing the download cache and it worked.

I think in my case the steam download cache was full or something so my shaders weren't being saved properly but that's pure speculation from me who's not well-versed in this tech stuff.

Other fixes I tried based on online searches (not in the order that I performed them):
-Clean install Nvidia graphic driver to the latest version.
-Uninstall and reinstalling the game.
-Clearing Nvidia's memory cache in Nvidia Control Panel.
-Setting Nvidia's memory cache size to 100GB in the Control Panel.
-Deleting the game's old shader file to force a recompile for shaders again.
-Enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in PC settings.
-Double checked to make sure I have ample free memory space available in my drives.
-Checked startup apps in Task Manager and made sure everything unnecessary is disabled.
-Enabling/disabling frame generation in the game's graphic settings.
-Messed around with the values for Windows Virtual Memory allocation in PC performance settings (I know it's probably unrelated but I was desperate lol).
-I even tried running the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool to find out if my SSD has any memory issues.

Do you have Steam's pre-caching shader feature on?

Nope, didn't even know about that setting.
Should I turn it on?

I am still crashing 100% of the time on file loading. I will try this method.

No. I do not recommend using it. I was just curious if it was on then it could have been related.
