[2022] The division 2 keeps crashing on PC.

I got the division 2 on the sale a few days ago. It has been crashing non-stop every since. The crashes are random and not tied to any specific event/action in the game.

The crashes happen while free-roaming, in a mission and even when opening the map or menu. The crashes happened multiple times mid-missions (invaded and normal pre-endgame) which is frustrating of course.

My rig is RTX 2060 Super on Ryzen 5 and windows 11 rendering game with DX 11.

Windows is up-to-date. Graphics driver is up-to-date and I have no issue with any other game.

One thing I noticed is that every time the game crashes, it turns to windowed mode before fully stopping. not sure if that's helpful.

I need a solution please or else I have to request a refund because the game in unplayable at this stage.
