A Plead — Constant Crashes after 0.2.1 update

I posted this as a response in a different thread. but wanted to repost here as well.

This is literally the only game that crashes my computer. I've had to do a clean install of windows 3 times since this game has come out because of all the hard crashes corrupting my system files. I'm not typing this out of rage, but frustration and exasperations for all of the hours spent trying to get this game to work so I can enjoy some quality time after a long workday playing with my partner.

The crashes have now creeped into just regular system functioning.
I had found a solution for the crashes that was working up until this most recent patch.
I'm using process lasso and after burner to cap my graphics card and CPU usage and rolled back to NVIDIA drivers to the one from December.

I had HWinfo recording gpu and cpu usage/temp and power through these crashes previously. I had found that after limiting CPU affinity, that GPU power/temp spike were causing a full system crash. Once I got that under control (also changed to Vulkan in game), it had been fine until this most recent patch. I did lower my GPU cap even more, and I last 1 full minute longer in game before a crash. Though I'm sure having to hard restart my computer x3 every night for the past week has made things even more unstable.

This patch crashes my whole machine despite all of the precautions I take.

I know for a fact that my hardware is not the issue. I use really demanding 3d/animation software on a daily basis with ease. I Don't know how many more clean installs of windows I have in me. I have a lot of programs and plug ins I need to download each time I reset.

Please fix this soon GGG, I really want to support you guys and continue to play, but this really makes it hard for me because of all of the time I sink into trying to troubleshoot, when I have very little free time as it is.
