Game crashes, only started happening today

Not sure what's up. The game started crashing today and not sure why, I haven't changed anything on my pc. Game seems to run and play fine, but then it just suddenly closes. No popup for any error or crash report, it just straight closes like I exited out of the game. In my event viewer on Win10, I do see a few app crash reports:

Not sure what to make of this info, if there's anything to make of it. It's happened so far using Vulkan as well as DX11. The game doesn't seem to do anything out of the ordinary before it crashes, either. Ive had steam verify the files, and that checked out fine.

Figured I'd update my own post. I cleared cache folders out and swapped to DX 12. Played for an hour with no crash, and the game play actually seemed a lot smoother. Hoping that fixed it, I'll find out for sure tomorrow tho!
