game + steam crash and overall performance

I've played previous patches, and while there were occasional issues, it was never anywhere near as bad as it is now.

Currently, the game crashes roughly every 30 minutes, and in many cases Steam crashes along with it. Loading screens have also become significantly longer than before.

At this point, the game is becoming very frustrating to play, and it's seriously affecting the overall experience.

My system specifications:

* CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (6 cores / 12 threads, 3.5 GHz)
* RAM: 16 GB
* GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (8 GB VRAM)

As I can see game is eating 80% of my memory with 20gb VRAM system beeing set up...

With this hardware, I wouldn't expect to be experiencing this level of instability.
