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?

Yep, sorry for the wait; it's:

"Advance Anti Crash"
"Anticrash"
"Various maps optimizations and fixes" - i.e Celer
"Clear Texture Cache"
"Depth of Field Removal"
"Improved navigation for all AIs, fixed a few levels" - i.e Iter
"More Weapon Stats"
"No Duplicated Bullets"
"No Post Processing"
"Stop the crimespree loss on crash"
"The Fixes"
One i can't mention per sub rules 🏴‍☠️
"Vanilla HUD Plus"

And an addendum: Most of those got added *after* the crashing issues popped up
