Does anyone know what this means in the reporting file?: "crashVersion": "3217599"
I posted a new thread because this mostly seemed to be focused on specific causes and/or non-AVX CPU's.

What error code are you getting?I have officially hit the 3 hour mark on steam trying to get this game running. I have yet to even start playing the game...Yes, 3 hours of nothing but fiddling with settings and crashing. Words cannot even begin to describe the disappointment I'm feeling right now.
I have tried nearly everything(yes, I actually went through 70+ pages because I'm desperate) suggested in this thread except reformating my drive and reinstalling my OS. I'm not about to reinstall my entire OS just for the sake of one game. What sort of game requires one to reformat their drive and reinstall the damn OS?
Let me break down the issue I'm experiencing:
My screen suddenly turns blank after some time.
One such instance is whenever I try to watch the intro movie. It plays until halfway through(around the part about hackers turning off the power) then my screen turns blank.
Another instance is about 10 seconds after starting any of the lifepaths. For example, whenever I start(the scene with v vomiting in the bathroom) with corpo, my screen always turns blank when the 1st conversation choice comes up.
In all instances, a look at my windows event viewer reviewed that the issue seems to lie with the Nvidia drivers. That is to say, the drivers are crashing during the game and unable to recover. The driver crash also results in multiple instances of the windows process, dwm.exe, crashing as well. As such, I could only hard reset my system each time it occurred. I'm using the latest drivers(460.79) for cyberpunk and I used DDU to do a clean install.
I have been able to figure out a workaround for the intro movie by turning on vsync and frame limit and setting both to 60. That enabled me to watch it the whole way through. However, it does nothing when trying to play the game itself. I even tried setting everything to the lowest but to no avail.
My specs are:
R9 3900X(bios updated)
RTX 3080
16GB ram @ 3200mhz
850W 80+ gold psu
Windows 10(updated to latest version 20H2)
970 evo m2 ssd
Nothing is overclocked, not even the GPU. I believe the issue lies somewhere between the game and the drivers as I absolutely do not experience any issues with other games. RDR2 ultra? No issues. AC valhalla ultra? No issues.
I emphasize again, mine is not a typical game crash(ie flatlined). My issue is with the game crashing the gpu driver and the driver in turn unable to recover. It also results in the dwm.exe process crashing.
I have tried all I reasonably could. How did this game pass QA in the first place?
