Summary: I load into a game and anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes in the game will freeze and become unplayable. I've tried it on random generated worlds, on navezgane, and on worlds hosted by other players and it always ends up crashing. When I turn the settings and resolution all the way down to lowest possible it no longer crashes (or at least I haven't seen it crash so far) but my computer should really be able to handle more than that, especially when I ran Alpha19 at medium/high settings at 1440p without issue.

Additional notes: I tried looking up some of the error codes in the logs. I didn't see anything related to 7 days to die specifically, but found similar posts for other games, and they usually related to the graphics card/driver failing. Additionally, in event viewer there are recorded errors during the freeze that say:
"The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video15
0000(0000) 00000000 00000000
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table"
I did try clean installing the graphics drivers and even installing an older one to see if it made any difference, but it didn't. All of my drivers are up to date. I also haven't been having any problems in any other demanding games, and ran a benchmark to see if I had any issues or freezes during that and I didn't.
