Game lags/crashes when entering seasonal contents(Hunts/Cemantary/Tomb)

I have returned to the game in season 2 but sadly whenever I tried to enter any Cementary/Tomb the game went from a solid +100fps to 1-3fps and then the game crashed within a minute.

I tried to get help on the forums/bug reports in game but I received no actual help. Even though I leveled my character through the campaign and then monolith I could not interact with seasonal content so I stopped playing.

I had hoped the game would work now with season 3 but sadly it seems that whatever was making Cementary/Tomb unplayable is now happening with hunts too. While leveling I just encountered my first hunt, the exact thing that was happening with last season content is now happing with the new stuff. FPS drops to a slideshow immediately and then a game crash.

I have now tried to enter the first hunt 3 times and immediately upon entering the game goes from stable to unplayable. Since i’m still leveling I have not intereacted with any Cementary/Tomb but I am assuming that since hunts won’t work neither will they.

I would love to play the game but I’m not leveling another character if I can’t interact with so much of the game systems. I don’t know what makes Hunts/Cementary/Tombs unique but the entire rest of the game works perfectly fine, only when entering those seasonal content does the game stop working. I have tried reinstalling/validating, it doesn’t matter if all of my settings are at max or lowest. I would really love some help.

Check that post, i had the same problem, and my game start to stutters, performance and audio, i post a solution that work for me, related to shader cache size

Sadly nothing changed for me. The entire base game works great I never have any stutters/crashes when just leveling in normal zones and I could play constantly without issue for hours. The stutters are immiediate only after going into any hunt and a crash happens in less then a minute.
