Game crashes in the middle of free roam/race, then cannot be re-launched

As the title says, the game crashes while playing with no error message being shown, the game then cannot be re-launched (through the EA Play App) unless the PC is restarted. If the game crashes, all other apps on my PC cannot be opened either, I get error messages when trying to open any other app until I restart my PC.

  • Would like updates on this issue, it has been happening constantly, I can provide dxdiag if I get a reply. I have repaired files, changed compatibility, updated graphics drivers, chipset drivers, checked for BIOS updates, ran the game and EA app itself as admin, tried playing in clean boot, ran sfc /scannow to check for any corrupt files and there are no issues with my PC or my hardware as games more intensive run perfectly fine. My temps don't go above 60C, I've frame limited the game to 60fps, turned off frame generation, turned off upscaling, nothing helps. I've done everything the automatic replies on every thread has said. 

    It's genuinely woeful how broken this game is and unenjoyable the bugs make it when it's actually a fun game. 

  • There are clear errors at the bottom of the dxdiag file stating the game crashing because of a Buffer Overflow Exception error, and Im pretty sure its due to the game's code itself, I disabled all overlays when testing and the game still crashed without an error and the same thing happened. My drivers are all up to date, including redistributables which are installed when you install the game. If I'm wrong please let me know, this issue is deeply frustrating because a game that has been out for 2 years should not be performing this badly.
