I tried the testing branch for amd fix, and so far didn't manage to crash not even with a new endless playthrough sending every single person to the lab, so seems like its working ^-^
I have started having this issue, the game ran fine until i got to day 24... then halfway through my inspections it crashes and I get the GPU related message. I have tried what you suggested but it still keeps happening :(
