Help With Crashes [FIXED]

[Lethal Placebo]

Been getting nonstop random crashes and I've tried multiple solutions, posting this in the hope that anyone else has any suggestions I may have overlooked, I've probably looked at dozens of threads in the past few days.

I used to have traversal crashes when crossing certain zones of the map, but disabling SSAA and setting the game to High Performance in Windows Graphics settings fixed that.

But the game still sometimes crashes during fades to black or coming up from fades to black. It can be any one, sometimes cutscenes, sometimes dialog sections, sometimes entering buildings. Maddeningly, it's not consistent. I can do the same thing, enter the same area or trigger the same cutscene and then the crash doesn't happen. It almost seems to be time-based, but even the times between crashes aren't the same. The only thing that is consistent is that if I play long enough it'll happen.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Rig:
EVGA GeForce GTX 3080
Intel i7 13700K
32GB DDR4 RAM
WD SN850X M.2 SSD (Win10, Steam, and Yakuza 0 are installed here)
dual 1440p 144Hz LG monitors, freesync/gsync compatible

Fixes I've tried:
-flipping between borderless and fullscreen mode
-changing audio devices
-setting high CPU priority in Task Manager
-updating GPU drivers
-setting game to only run at 60FPS via GPU control panel
-changing refresh rate of monitor to 60FPS and refresh rate in-game to 60Hz
-disabling VRR
-disabling Windows Virus and Threat protection
-vsync off
-setting audiomode=1 in the audio.ini file

I fixed it. Deleting all of the game's configuration ini files fixed scene transitions crashing for me. I was able to complete the last three chapters of the game in a row with no crashes.

These ini files can be found at: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Sega\Yakuza0

Just delete all the files in that folder, the game will generate them again next time you start it.
