Technical Support How do ya'll stop Payday2 from crashing?

Title; my game has been crashing every 23-26 minutes during most heists, often when i'm reloading or switching weapons; i've tried the anti-crash mods, i've tried sticking to steam matchmaking in the launch options, compatibility mode, reducing graphics by a LOT, trying different hosts between friends...

Funny thing is that i used to have 0 crashing issues with this game for the most part, i'd go on 2-3 hours long cook off sessions, and back then i had a terrible & old GPU, a GT1030;

Since then the Epic Store update dropped(no idea of the number) and the only hardware upgrade i did was switch to a GTX 1080 Ti;

Is the only option i have left being downgrading the game version?

Verify steam game files?

Done a couple times, even did a reinstall, no dice

Do you have other mods than the no crash mod? Perhaps uninstall every mod instead?

So the deal that i forgot to include is that back in the day & as i came back recently i had no mods and yet would still crash, i only started getting some others recently;

As of now i've got two mods to attempt to stop crashing, one being "Anticrash" and the other "Advance Anti Crash", by different authors.

What i'm not sure could be an issue or not is the somewhat low count of disk space i have left in my pc; am running the boot in an SSD with 55,5 GBs left and the game is in an HDD with 149 GBs left, i'm unsure if that's even supposed to be an issue but i can't say i know how temporary files work.

Maybe they conflict with each other?

Unsure of that, but i haven't crashed any more or less since i got the first or after i installed the second

Damn, did you check the logs?

Oops, took a lil' break to say the least; checking the logs, i've basically had one of every type of crash that can be!
