you have to admit that its a bit strange that it runs rock solid for most but not for you.
pc is a complex ecosystem, and many machines never go through any validation by system integrators.
thinking about it one possible reason comes to mind: cpu utilisation was improved with amd 4 and 6 core cpu. do you by chance use one of these? higher utilisation could trigger instabilities that did not occour pre patch.
trust me it aint hes machine, the same sh#t happening to me here, and i run a 2080ti and a i9 9900ki did not argue but i was offering advise. i have, as it is, zero interest in arguing over the fact if you fix your issue or not.
of course its just the advise i can give to the best of my knowledge. and certainly i could be wrong and you are free to make of it what you want.
however, seing that you are unwilling to explore anything that is not putting the source into the game, and that - as said - i think the game is unlikely to cause your issue, i suggest now you play all the other games your machine actually can run.
exact same with me no major bugs or experience taking before 1.05 at all, after 1.05 cant run the game more then 4 minutes without a crash we [even have the same grafcs card] i even tried to put everithing on low specs just to se if it is my machine but it aint becouse everithing in low it can run like 10 min more but it crashes the same way. before 1.05 i was running everithing on ultra and psycho getting around 80/70 fps on 1080pI think (hope rather) the issue I'm experiencing is in this category of 1.05 breaking things. Up until now I've experienced very few issues at all; some minor visual stuff like dropping trouser and airing bits through Dels sunroof... but no major bugs or even crashes... until 1.05.
The game crashed ("flatlined") for the first time during an endgame (beyond point of no return) boss fight, and I haven't been able to load any of my save (auto or manual) since. All of my saves are well under 5MB, so I don't think they're corrupted. Running 2080 Ti and i9 9980XE... so not AMD related either.
I've tried the usual; reinstall game, drivers, etc. DxDiag has nothing to add, and stress tests with 3DMark, Doom Eternal, Witcher and other games turn up no issues at all... praying the 1.05 patch didn't fry some remote area of my GPU only CP touches... couldn't get the new card I want (EVGA 3090 hydro) even if I was OK with paying scalpers (which I am not).

i just removed my drivers from my card and installed it again for the second time and didnt experience a single crash been playing for an hour nowYes iam total unwillig to accept your expert tipps, right - sry dude don´t feel offended, that was not my intention. I can´t follow your suggestions as they make no sense, for me and for some others.
But i would like to grab some hardware infos, from User who experiencing issues
So iam on a Asrock H470M + i5 10400 (BFB ON/OFF makes no diff.), 32 GB RAM Kingston HyperX Pred., PC 5700XT, Chieftec 750w.
In my case the time span from which iam start playing, until crash is almost the same, so its something that gets triggered while gaming.
Anyone else playing from a USB-C/USB3 HDD/SSD, maybe power save is triggered, which would fit into the timespan?!
this sounds odd and not at all as if your gpu is the likely offender.
if it was me i would verify the installation and see if that fixes the problem.
IF this fixes your problem, also use a smart monitoring program to check your drive. if it shows your drive is dying, you know whats what.
if your drive is fine and thats an isolated incident, id probably ignore the issue untill something like that happend again.
if your drive is fine but you see data corruption on your drive a lot, this would indicate some other issue. instable memory could be one reason then.
if verifying your installation does not fix your issue, i dont think ill be able to solve this mystery remotely.
