POE 2 Crashes Clicking Vendor Tabs and also during/after boss fights [FIXED]

EDIT/UPDATE: Completely uninstalling and re-downloading the game seems to have fixed it. Must have been a corrupt/missing file that Steam file integrity checks didn't detect.

My game seems to consistently crash whenever I try to click a different vendor tab on any vendor in town.

Also it seems to crash at, during, or after boss fights. My first crashes occurred at the boss just before the first town. Crashed mid-fight twice and after finally managing to kill without crashing - it crashed again.

After playing a bit more, I got to an area in where it crashed again and now it seems like I can't login to that specific character anymore. I can login to other characters, but that one crashes when it seems like loading is nearly complete. I assume it's something about the area the character last crashed at that just causes my client to crash anytime it tries to load in there.\

I've tried changing every graphics setting down to low, and also tried switching between dx11, dx12, and vulkan. I've tried windowed, full screen, and full screen windowed.

I've verified files via Steam client. I've updated my video drivers. I've tried Nvidia's recommended settings. I've disabled all the overlays and other running software. I've done cold boots.

I'm currently in the middle re-downloading it after entirely uninstalling to see if that does anything.

I've fixed this by completely uninstalling and redownloading the game. There must have been some corrupt or missing files in my original install that Steam file integrity check didn't find.

I can confirm. I had the same issue, and uninstalling and re-downloading the game helped. Thank you.
