Game Freezes and then Crashes about every 10-15 minutes inside Matches.
My game has been crashing over the last few days, and today (03/17/26), after the update, it has become unbearable. When I enter a match, about 10-15 minutes in, my game freezes and crashes. I relaunch the game, reconnect to the match, and then 10-15 minutes later, I freeze and crash again. I have installed and reinstalled NVIDIA's latest drivers and confirmed they are game-ready. I have also repeatedly verified my game files on Steam. Is this a known issue, any known or planned fixes, or is anyone able to provide suggestions for a fix? I really like this game and would love to keep playing, but right now it is too frustrating to deal with.
If it helps, here are my PC specs:

I have almost the exact same specs as you (cpu, gpu, ram, monitor) and I am experiencing the same behavior as you. It has been bad for the last few days, but today, the frequency of crashes make it unplayable.
