Constant client crush in heist contract zones.

During running in the heist zone (any type of regular heist) constant client crushes occur. Last 6 zones I ran, it occured constantly every time. Kindly investigate if it something that has to do with game itself, since any other zone works properly.
I love books.

Same here. At some random part of the heist (mainly during the escape) the game crashes.

Update: I just switched from DX11 to Vulkan Beta for Rendering and taadaa it works fine for contracts. Did 4 contracts in a row without chrashes. Nevertheless it is lagging like hell with alot of monsters with this render.

Switched back to DX11 now and I will wait for a patch and skipp Heist content until then.

if you can't post steps to reproduce the crashes, it's not worth posting here.

if your client crashes, it sends the crash info to ggg at the next client start.
if your server instance crashes, they get the crash info directly from their servers.

so they always know you've crashed, they're just looking for additional info
age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
Yep, unfortunately crushes that I encounter so common that i cannot identify the reason, to bad that nothing helps.

As for Vulkan, it seems that I can't get 144 fps even on 2080ti proper setup and low graphic settings, pretty upsetting.

I experience client crashes in Heist contracts on both DX11 and Vulkan. I mainly play on Vulkan ever since the option was enabled for the game, but also tried to switch to DX just to see if the crashes were because of it.

Tried to lower texture details to 'medium', which didn't prevent the crashes. Tried to launch the game with '-gc' parameter but it didn't help either.

For me, the crashes seem to happen always when the heist is in Alert-mode. Usually very soon once it has started.

My client.txt in he logs folder gives hundreds of lines like the ones bolded after the crash.

From client.txt:
"
2020/09/22 15:18:43 990938187 891 [INFO Client 1600] Abnormal disconnect: An unexpected disconnection occurred.

2020/09/22 15:18:45 990940437 db [WARN Client 1600] [VULKAN] Out of device memory, type = '{ DeviceLocal }'


Currently I have stopped doing heists altogether since I could lose the progress randomly anytime because of a client crash.

Seems that Vulkan improved stability, didn't encounter crushes after switch
