I've been having crashes playing The Outer Worlds 2 via the Xbox PC App on Windows 11, I figured out how to analyze the minidumps and it helped me track down that the crash was happening consistently when loading saves or I think when loading a new area via a loading screen but I haven't been able to test that because I'm still at the start of the game, this lead me to enabling full dump recording for Outer Worlds 2 via the registry and upon running the full dump through WinDbg and using !symfix; .reload and !analyze -v it gives me the following output

---------
After looking through that and doing some research and testing I managed to figure out that
agsCheckDriverVersion and IAntiLag2Module
probably relate to Nvidia Reflex (which I had turned on)
So i turned it off and tried recreating the crash and all of a sudden it's gone. I need to do some more testing but it seems to be fixed so far.
hopefully this is helpful for other people and the devs.
Oh btw bit more info:
Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Nvidia GTX 1070 running driver version 581.80
Let me know if there's anymore info needed or if you want me to upload any files.
