what should I do? [DP1]

I recently started the first DP on steam. I was aware of all the problems with this version, so I followed practically 90% of the guides to play the game.

What can I say? I've played 13 hours and i think i never had so much fun and involvement in a game in at least 3 years.

I was managing to fix every crash, I was changing window and framerate settings, I was practically spending hours just to push the game forward and manage to finish it (and enjoy it).

So, what's the issue?

I found a type of crash that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else and I don't have the solution.

Episode 2 chap 1: I have to wait until 9pm to talk in the back of the diner.

I decided to pass the time by doing sidequests, won the first prize at the darts game, then saved.

Going back in the city, as soon as I get close to the bridge, sometimes a few blocks before, sometimes almost there, the game suddenly crashes. It happens both in the car and while walking.

What should I do?

looking for a solution/ waiting for someone who has had the same problem as me to tell me what to do?

or, since I have a copy of the Switch version, do I start DP1 over?

What are the chances of the Switch version being as frustrating as the PC version? (by frustrating i'm not talking about the clunky controls and bugs, that's all stuff that doesn't bother me at all)
