Driver issues coming back after early access?

Hey ya'll I'm at my wit's end, so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone had a similar problem. After playing the game in early access, I come back to the full release and find it won't run for me at all. I start a new save, the opening cinematic plays, Melinoe starts to spawn in, and I get the following error:

"DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG -- The graphics driver stopped responding because of an invalid combination of graphics commands sent by an app."

So before you ask, yes, I did restart the pc, update my drivers, and all that good stuff. And yes, my pc does meet the required specs. Last I played was during the prometheus update. I steam says I have 60+ hours in the game and I got all the way to the final bosses of both routes, no bugs or issues at all. I can also confirm it's specific to this game, as I beat hades 1 just a short while ago.

I've tried lowering all the graphics settings to the basement, turning vsynch off and on, running a scan for corrupted windows files, verifying the integrity of game files, clearing steam's cache, and even trying a weird directx12 workaround originally intended for elden ring I saw some people say might work. Nothing helped.

Please internet people I'm losing my fucking mind here.
