[2.20] Intermittent CTD

Campaign, normal difficulty

As per the title, I'm just CTDing every half hour or so. I can't provide any steps to reproduce them, and even the times between crashes vary. I suspect something in my DxDiag will jump out at someone with more experience, like the ffdshow filters for X3, but I don't have much experience with this new engine. There is no error message displayed when the crashes occur. Temperatures are very safe, plenty of available memory, low CPU load, moderate GPU load, moderate disk I/O.

Fresh reinstall, no changes made.
No entries in event log. Checked the .dmp file for the latest crash - there's an access violation in there, but I'm no good at reading those things. It can be found via Pastebin here.

DxDiag via Pastebin here. Didn't see anything Rebirth-related in the WER portions there either.

You have two different sound devices and drivers on the go at the same time and both are outdated. Update whichever you wish to keep and disable the other in Device Manager sound devices.

You have several and various recent game exe errors reported in your DxDiag (one of them being X3AP) with few or none of the helpful diagnostic information fields completed. That might be an issue due to either your OS or DirectX installation and should be investigated further using your OS installation self-test and repair facilities.

It very unusual for a CTD not to generate a report in Event Viewer, which further strengthens doubts about the OS/DirectX installation.

The exception error report is a rather unhelpful generic error that could be caused by a number of types of issue, whether in the gamecode or in the system hardware, OS or drivers. The fact that you are having so many different game errors raises additional doubts about there being a specific Rebirth gamecode issue as the cause - not that I am ruling one out.
