[2022] For Honor crashing

For a couple of days now, For Honor has been consistently crashing whenever I try to play the game on Windows 11.
Sometimes my game launches either as fullscreen or as a small window. If it launches as fullscreen, whenever I try to leave the splash screen to get to the main window it crashes. If it launched as a small window, I am able to get to the main menu but whenever I click on any of the main menu options, it crashes.
For some reason in the latter scenario i am able to access the f2 menu, but trying to get into the hero menu or the battlepass from there still crashes the game.
I have done the following to try to fix this issue:

• changing my resolution in the cases where I can get into the main menu
• uninstalling and reinstalling the game
• verifying the files on steam
• attempting to run the game after performing a clean boot.
• attempting to run the game as an administrator
• adding the game's files to the exception list of my antivirus

If anyone knows what could be done to fix this, please let me know. I was originally planning to contact Ubisoft Support but for some reason the only option for contact for technical issues, Live Chat, is disabled in my region.

Edit: Have also tried automatically enabling admin permissions on steam, ubisoft connect and the game itself. still no dice
