My game keeps randomly closing after I start a game

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

Everything is fine, game loads as normal, I can run around etc, but as soon as I start a mission, the game crashes, it never used to do it when I played 4-5 months ago..

My PC specs are -

Windows 11 pro 64 bit
AMD ryzen 7
RAM 32gb
TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI (AM5)
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 OC 12GB (Version 32.0.15.7652)
WD_BLACK SN770 2TB

My specs were the same when I used to play those months ago, and it had never crashed before, so I’m unsure whats changed, but I’d love to play again.
