I was able to disable directx 11 in at the launcher and complete the quest and the issue seemed to be resolved. I then enabled DX11 again, tried to move my aether compass in my key items inventory and I crashed again with the same issues. I have since discarded the Aether Compass as I am not currently using it and am running the game just fine. I hope that the next quest requiring a key item to be used or turned in will not cause this issue again.
