PoE2 Deadlock Detected crash occouring every 10ish min

Hello,

I have been receiving a deadlock detected crash using the steam version of the game in the Keepers of the druid league. On 2 characters now, the crashes only start once I reach act 4 and the frequency of the crashes speed up as I progress through the game (Starting maybe every once a hour and progressing to every 5-10 minutes after finishing 1 of the interlude zones). This has made progression borderline unplayable as I cannot complete my ascensions or content due to the crash resetting my progress.

I've gone to reddit to see if other users had this issue and attempted their solutions with the method of "Change one thing, test, if failed return to baseline" I have tried so far:

-Upgrading my drivers to the latest version (Clean install)
-Downgrading my drivers to a stable version recommended (Clean install)
-Changing between Vulkan and DirectX12
-Tweaked every setting in the video tab one by one
-Fresh install of Poe2
-Followed a Shader cache tweak guide to allow a larger shader cache space in NVIDIA control panel

My PC Stats are as follows:
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core
RAM: 32GB DDRM4
Running on a NVME SSD
OS: Windows 10 22H2

I'm going to try and install a clean fresh install of PoE2 via the client instead of steam to see if I have any better luck but at this point its just me pulling my hair trying things.
