Crashing to desktop upon weapon pickup

As many others, I'm experiencing crashing to desktop with no errors but only if I try to pick up any weapon. 

I can play whole matches without crashing. I can pick up all grenades, ammo, attachments, medkits, but as soon as I try to pick a gun up it crashes whether it's training or real play. Game freezes for a few seconds, sound kinda stutters, game stops responding and it crashes to desktop with no error codes or anything.

I did find a log in the Event Viewer that comes up as soon as the game crashes saying it's application error and something about a bad_module and I attached 2 of those logs. 

Is anyone else having similar problems as me? Does anyone know how to work around it cause it's obviously game's fault, something in it's code, until or if the decs fix it?

    @aHungryGamer Can I check what language you play the game in?

    If you try the steps below does that change anything?

    • Toggling your language may help. Right-click the game panel in Origin, choose Game Properties, then Advanced Launch Options. Change the game language ("Polish" helps some folks), save the game and update. Once this completes try swapping back to your language and check again?

    I'm playing in English. I will try changing it but don't really see how it would help!

    @EA_David I tried that and no change. Changed the language to Polish, it crashes when I pick the training weapon. Went back to English, it crashes at the same time. :/

    Short of going back to windows 1709 I've tried every fix I've seen on the forums and none work. Games crashes when I pick a weapon up no matter what.

    After 2 weeks since posting this, the problems persists. Nothing was fixed with all these updates. The only fix to resolve this is to Uninstall the game. Worked like a charm for me.
