Game freezes my pc when entering zones sometimes

For the last 2 or 3 days the game just freezes my pc from time to time.
I dont know if it is a problem with a windows update or what.
Either way you guys should fix that problem. As i see it a lot of other people have the same problem and i dont want to restart my pc 100 times a day.
I have windows 11 and a 4080 and so on.

The workaround does not work permanently but you can check the guide here for it:

Please stop playing the game if it crashes again. There are people who have lost their PCs to this crash as it can and will brick your PC.

Please also report the game on Steam, so that we can have the option to request refunds despite being over the play time limit. It might also alert Steam to put a "potential hardware damage" warning, hopefully saving some people from losing their PCs to this.
I cannot send/reply to direct messages because my in-game character has not finished Act 1.
What to do:
1)Write a short review about the hard crashes in notepad.
2)Copy and paste it to steam reviews, put up a negative review.
3)Copy and paste it to steam discussions, put it up there.
