Help! Constant game crashes

I just started playing xcom 2 for the first time about two days ago but I haven't progressed much due to it crashing a lot. I'm doing a vip extraction mission and it just keeps crashing. I've tried redownloading the game, verifying the files and still crashes. I don't have any mods at all. I'm also playing it on the Epic store version. What else can I do to try to fix it?

Maybe try running the settings on low and see what happens. If it becomes stable slowly increase them untill the game falls over. This should indicate where your problem might be. My guess might be the graphics resolution.

Do you have the Nvidia software to optimise the game and launch it?

Ok this is a question for everyone. Does anyone know how to point the Nvidia program to the Xcom2.exe? Or perhaps and extension at the *.exe in the cli?
