Hello again,
Thank you for implementing a potential fix. After testing the update, I noticed I was still encountering the issue. After doing some research into similar issues other people had that was comparable to mine with other games, I found the possible cause, which was overclocking. I just found that my video card's management software had my GPU in overclock mode, so I set everything to default and now the game's running perfectly fine (apart from some random lag spikes that I'm unsure if it's just optimization issues or not), regardless, at least my game's not crashing to the desktop anymore!
