Crash when triggering Crop Circle encounter in Act 1

Like the title says, whenever I attempt the Crop Circle encounter in Act 1 the game crashes without an error message. It happens as the yellow enemy runs towards me: the game stutters, shows me maybe 1 more frame, and then closes.

It also has the nasty side effect of not allowing me to log back in until the instance has reset, as it keeps trying to load me back into the same instance, which causes the same crash before the loading screen has finished.

I'm on DirectX12, but I've tried it with Vulkan too. I've tried switching from windowed to fullscreen (a past thread suggested it for a similar issue). I've tried switching regions to get the instance to reset so I can at least play without having to wait. The game still crashes.

I've had this crop circle issue since the new patch and it has persisted over the weekend.

It's safe to say I still haven't been able to do the crop circle encounter, which is very disappointing.

I just reached act 3 and figured I would go back and give the Crop Circle encounter in Ogham Farmlands another try, in case the crashing was fixed. I can confirm that this is still an issue for me. I will now have to wait 10 minutes before I can log in again, since the instance I keep getting thrown back into crashes before the loading screen is done (like mentioned in my original post)

Very frustrating
