Veilguard crashing frequently

Hey Yall, Im a PC player using steam. I have a NVIDIA RTX 4070 w/32g of RAM, and a high end processor and can most games on ultra with no issues. I installed Veilguard last week (Had to replay all the previous DA games first of course) and its been a nonstop crash fest. I've tried reinstalling it, verifying the data integrity, deleting the shader cache, installed the latest NVIDIA driver, using the lowest settings, running the program as AdmIn and in Win 8 compatibility mode and nothing. The game typically takes 3-5 attempts just to not crash at start up then crashes within 5-10min of play. I'm a die hard Dragon Age fan and just want to play! I dont care if I have to use the worst settings or the weirdest work around but desperate to see what Solas has been up to. Please help & thank you in advance!
