Game crashes during glacial cavern every time

[xmantica]

I'm at 9% into the game, 2 hours in. I just made it to the second camp fire. The game crashes on me every single time I go around the corner and see the Byzantine boat. A cutscene starts to play, and one second in, it crashes. Before that the game was running perfectly on Very High settings, with a stable 60fps, at 1080p resolution.

Updated to the latest Nvidia drivers, no difference. Turned on DX12, turned it back off. No difference. Game crashes to desktop at that exact cutscene every single time.

Has anyone encountered this problem? I don't know what to do. Can't find anyone online that might have experienced this.

970 can't run the game at Very high. not enough VRam.
set textures to HIGH.

if it still crashes, consider tuning down you OC settings.

Tried loweing settings down to medium. Still crashes. Exactly at that moment when the cutscene begins.

I'm not overclocking my gpu currently.

Please verify your game files through Steam.

Seems that it's the thing with the Tomb Raider.
I'm also experiencing a very annoying crashing problem during early game.
Still trying to resolve.
Will let you know if I can find anything.
Cheers!

Verifying cache worked! Don't know why some files went missing or someting, but after verifying cache it had to download about 3 GB worth of data. Tried again, and was able to get past the cutscene!

Thank you all.
