HyperThreading/Multicore problem

The problem still exists for me.

Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700K (3.40 GHz)
Installed RAM : 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)
GPU : Nvidia Geforce 3060 Ti

The game randomly freezes and goes unresponsive. I have to force close the game everytime.

The freeze/crash happens in maps and in towns with people. The game has a problem with multicore CPUs. My older I7 8700k did not have this problem. I saw other people with a range of multicore chips having these problems. Not sure if its more Intel or just multicore in general.

If i turn off "Engine Multithreading" it resolves the problem but the game runs a lot worse. Graphics/lag, everything far worse.

Switch to Vulkan, performance will be worst but if you enable DLSS it should be fine.
