crash since I got now rig with discrete Graphics Card

I was playing on a laptop (r5 5500u) and had to turn settings low/fugly to make it playable. And I was loving the game.

Now that I built a gaming rig (a little outdated, though, but more than enough) I still have to set graphics to fugly or else i get crashes.
Nowadays I'm on a R5 3600, RX 580 8GB and 16GB of RAM.
It's very vey likely that I get a crash right when I try to load the game. Some artifacts show (impossible to print) and a kenshi window says I've run out of video memory (which is a false statement, I can check that it used less than half of the VRAM), then another one pops up talking about the crash dump.

I tried a fresh install, removed all mods. But I still get so many crashes that it makes me not want to play anymore.
Sometimes I think I got lucky and the game loads, just to crash ingame a few minutes later. Sometimes it runs for hours.

Apparently setting quality to fugly stops all the crashing.

Today I had 3 crashes before even loading. Then, I restarted the PC and was able to load. After a fex minutes, it crashed again.
I'm running as an administrator. I tried steam's validade files. After that completely wiped the kenshi install folder and did a fresh install.

Here ios the crashdump:

Best guess is this is incompatibilities from the GPU, Radeon cards are known to cause problems with Kenshi.

The first two things I'd try are:
1. Grabbing the Vulkan rendering mod, if your card is compatible. It has been known to workaround GPU incompatibilities before.
2. Disabling Distant Town generation in the options menu. Radeon cards especially REALLY don't like this system, and crash frequently due to it.

Distant towns was already disabled.
I'm pretty sure i tried vulkan already, but will try again.

Meanwhile, another random crash. See attached file.
