I ended up solving the issue, seems like there are lots of know issues with RTX cards and the current game engine.
After some investigation, I found that uninstalling the GPU tweekII software solved the crashes.
Hope it helps other folks.
Since today's update, I get a black screen and my PC freezes after the initial loading screen with APB banner after pressing "Start" on the game launcher. No error message appears and the only way for the PC to respond again is to force a restart.
Anyone having the same issue?
My specs:
i5-9600K
32Gb RAM
RTX2060
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1 TB
