Hello, I recently picked up an indie title called Old World. I was having an issue where games were crashing with game bar (seems to be a voice chat app from Xbox?) I decided to download the xbox app, uninstall game bar (using powershell) then uninstall everything xbox, why? Dont like Microsoft picking what I play, not one bit. However, I am getting game crashes, before they were specifically pointing out game bar crashing (I believe I had a corrupted version) now the following is happening in Windows Event Viewer:

Faulting application name: OldWorld.exe, version: 2022.3.39.6927, time stamp: 0x6696c9bb
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.5438, time stamp: 0xab0dece3
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x000000000001ad67
Faulting process id: 0x30f4
Faulting application start time: 0x01dba2c2a491d599
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Old World\OldWorld.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: 4662fe4f-1dab-4d59-86d6-16f4ef520013
Faulting package full name:

I have tried the following fixes:
reseating RAM
reseating NVME
updating graphics drivers
updating windows
updating every other driver I could get my hands on (keyboard update FTW)
removing gamebar
removing the xbox app
uninstalling the game and reinstalling
uninstalling Steam distributables and reinstalling those
sfc /scannow (corrupted files found, since fixed)
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Completely removing my GPU driver and reinstalling it
Turning off overclocking
turning off XMP

I am now testing by reinstalling gamebar and xbox app and seeing if SOMEHOW this is causing it to crash. The weird thing I find is, there is 0 crashes on singleplayer from what I have found. Any help would be appreciated
