Try to disable Signed distance field global illuminatuon, or alternatively run the game using the hi_performance_intel_fix.bat file. Hopefully it helps. V0.9.8 might also help when it becomes free later on. What video card do you have?
Let me know if you have any success trying what I suggested. You can also switch to using the Retro pixel art mode together with the rest or on its own, just to see if there is any option that doesn't lag/crash. Also try to use FSR, either Quality or Ultra quality (or any other options, to see if they help)
