The crash could be a result of your GPU attempting to run the game on DirectX 12 instead of the supported DirectX 11. If not, it could be due to faulty/corrupted files.

To fix the DirectX11 issue, open the Steam library and click on properties. Click on General and type "-dx11" under the launch options.

If you are playing the game via the Epic Games Store, click on the three dots and select Manage. Type "-dx11" under the launch options to fix the issue.
