The Final Shape crash

Hello Bungie Support Team, I am experiencing a persistent, critical crash during the final boss fight against The Witness in The Final Shape campaign (Mission: Iconoclasm). The game consistently crashes to desktop at the exact same moment: when The Witness launches its large, high-visual-effect attack (often announced by the on-screen prompt). I have been unable to finish the campaign despite numerous attempts and have exhausted all common community and technical fixes. Here is what I have already attempted: 1. In-Game Workarounds The "Look Away" Technique: I immediately look at the floor or a wall when the attack prompt appears, but the crash still occurs after approximately 5-8 seconds, or immediately upon looking back up. Graphics Reduction: I temporarily set Effect Quality, Shadow Quality, and Light Quality to their lowest settings (Medium/Low). Frame Rate Cap: I capped the game's FPS to 60/75 FPS and disabled V-Sync. Forcing DirectX: I attempted to launch the game using the --force-d3d11 command. 2. System and Software Checks Overlay Disabled: I have verified and disabled all third-party overlays (Discord, Steam, Nvidia ShadowPlay, MSI Afterburner/RTSS). Drivers: My GPU drivers are updated to the latest stable version. Integrity Check: I verified the integrity of the game files on Steam. Overclocking: I have checked/will check to ensure no CPU/GPU/RAM overclocking is active. 3. Fireteam Strategy I attempted the mission while in a fireteam, acting as the leader, with a friend who had already completed it. Even when I looked away, the crash still happens, preventing me from getting credit. Can you please advise on any known fixes for this specific crash related to The Witness's attack? Thank you for your time and assistance. System Specs Platform: PC Steam CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 6 core processor, 3501 MHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 RAM: 16GB
