continues crashes after the last update during mapping

Platform: PC
Setup
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5930K CPU @ 3.50GHz (3.50 GHz)
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 Ti

After the last update, I experience continuous crashes during the map play. It maps both during the animation and even when standing still.
Drivers are up to date, tried different engines - FSR, default, off.
In some cases, the game switches to pause, but in some, I see the gears spinning, and the character dies.
This is frustrating because every death is basically a loss of currency and time that I invested.
