M4 MacBook Pro crashing/hangs when connected to MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED

So the latest M4 MacBook crashes on the latest MSI gaming monitor. Here's how I narrowed it down:

Playing StarCraft2 multiplayer between a M4 (regular) MBP and a M4 (pro) MBP - one is connected to the MSI display, the other is running unattached to any other peripherals: the one connected to the MSI display crashes - hangs the MacBook and a hard reset is necessary.

• both MacBooks were tested with the MSI display, and only the one connected hangs.
• both MacBooks were tested in SAFE MODE -- and no improvement
• both MacBooks were tested with GAME MODE off -- and no improvement
• No difference with the method of input - HDMI and USB-C crashed all the same
• Resolution didn't matter in game - the M4 pro was tested at higher res than the regular M4
• MSI firmware .009
• ONLY crashes in multiplayer games. Playing alone doesn't crash the game (will update this if I can crash it in a single player game).

At first I thought it might be displays in general hanging -- so I decided to play with a different monitor connected: NO CRASH

• Additionally, I connected my old 2014 Intel MacMini to the MSI Display: NO CRASH
• I don't think I was ever able to get it to crash when I had my M2 MacMini (which I had traded in for the M4 Pro)

As this clearly seems like an issue with the MSI drivers/firmware ... I can only hope for a fix. I put off trying to update the MSI firmware as there are horror stories out there of it failing on regular PCs.

If anyone else has experienced this -- please chime in!
