[ISSUE FIXED BY 23rd OCTOBER UPDATE] Crashes/Freezes/Hangs/Lock-ups

[EDIT]
ISSUE FIXED
It was fixed by the 23 of October Update
Or at least it seems to be fixed so far. No crashes or freezes like it was previously for several weeks.

Don’t know why, but if I try to play the game after the launch patch (or any of the recent patches for that matter) the game just locks up.

My sequence of events:

start game
press continue
game loads
view of house and car
freeze/lockup

Every time.

Sometimes I might be able to proceed to exit all the menus and manage to drive a few feet before it just locks up again.

Specs:
GTX 1070 (latest drivers)
I7 6800k
16gb DDR4
Game installed on an SSD
