PC specs listed below
So for about 2 months I have had issues with WT crashing and freezing from time to time. It started with a crash once a week, then once every two days, then once a day, it stayed like that for a few weeks, then it also began to freeze at random moments (sometimes in scope, other times in binos or normal view). During these freezes my control inputs were still being given, but I could not see anything in-game for about 8-12 seconds. Sometimes a freeze would roll into a crash.
My settings at the time were DX12, DLSS 4 anti aliasing, native
resolution (1440p), most on high or very high, RT off.

THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER GAME THAT I HAVE PLAYED
(which include No Man’s Sky, Doorkickers 2, Hearts of Iron 4, ICBM Escalation and Sea Power NCMA)
Then I verified game files, both through Steam and the launcher. Did not fix it, in fact, I feel like it got worse every time I tried fixing it. I updated my graphics drivers, which made it worse. Moved install file to a faster SSD, did not fix it, uninstalled and did a completely new install on another SSD, made it slightly better, but soon became much worse. By this point I was getting a freeze or three every match but the first 2 after booting up. So I tried switching to DX11, which eventually made no difference (little better right after, but soon went back to being horrible). I tried lowering my graphics settings, different anti aliasing. nothing works and now my game looks way worse.
I am lost here, can someone please tell me how to fix this? I am willing to try basically everything but a complete reformatting of my drives and windows reinstall.
