Wild Heart Crash on Win11
My Specs
i5 12600KF
RTX 3080 FE
2x16 GB RAM 3600 MHz
OS: Windows 11
Installed on NVME SSD drive
Drivers: I have done Fresh install of Graphics drivers through Geforce Experience.
Have done Repair through EA app.
Crash happens at random after playing for some time. It often happens in Coop but has happened normally.
No idea what triggers it. But I do know that when Wild Hearts crash it wants to crash other programs as well. Like my Internet browser Vivaldi. I notice that it will flicker and the browser will get unresponsive. I've also had to reboot because last time it made my mouse not match up with where it is. Could say it's off by half a screen or so.
My brother is on Win10 and has no such problem and basically the same system specs as me. He uses the same programs as well.
I do have a Youtube video playing most of the time too.
Those programs have not crashed at all before when playing any other game on my system. No matter how much I use them.
Sometimes I've gotten an error message and I'll try to get a picture of it. By just keep playing to get the crash message.
I did a Clean boot(Well the EA backservices had to be on to test this or the EA app wouldn't start) and was able to run for 4 hours before I had to do something else. No crashes.
Because I might just have located the issue.
In the Taskmanager there is a App named "RtkaudUService64.exe" in just Startup programs and it is for Realtek Audio service. But it doesn't have Realtek as the publisher.
My motherboard is ASUSTek Prime B660-Plus D4
I've read it also shows up on MSI boards.

It is the only unique process that might have something to do with the crashes because the others are just other gaming clients, discord and the motherboards driver checking program. If the other programs caused the issue it would have been happening to a whole lot of other people.
So I disabled this in TaskManager on the startup part and rebooted the PC again. Then played for 4 full hours. So far nothing else has been impacted by this.
I'm going to leave it disabled in the startup because I can't find a way to actually uninstall it. Or have it updated to an official version of some sort. My brother has Realtek Audio drivers instead so he didn't crash.
