Explanation

I'm playing on DirectX 12 with an AMD RX 9070 XT 16GB graphics card. While playing, for example when loading into the lobby or directly into a match, the game freezes and then I get a "Fatal Error" message.
Playing on DX11 prevents the game from crashing, but makes it unplayable because it's so dark that I can't see anything, and there's no way to adjust the brightness to make it brighter. I'm attaching a clip showing what's happening in-game right before the Fatal Error appears, along with a screenshot of the error itself. I'm also attaching a clip showing what the game looks like when playing on DX11.
