So, i am really starting to get fed up with this.
In the past few days as of the writing of this post (around friday/05/2021), whenever i play Hardcore mode (Level 40 watch level 51), and do any activity at all, right after i am done with the activity, the game instantly goes back to windowed mode and back to the first safety message we get when we launch the game and it freezes and i have to use Task Manager to close it completely.
I tried joining people and people joining me and playing solo = same results.

Weird thing is, this only happened 1 time on my Softcore character but it stopped happening and i even yesterday could play for 3 hours on my Softcore without any issues at all.

So far, thankfully all the crashes have been when im done with an activity and no enemies are around, so i get to keep my character when i start the game again.

I really don't want to lose this whole progress that i've made, as i'm getting close to have my raid-build ready.

Anyone else experiencing something similar?
I have not changed any setting at all for the past 2-4 weeks to think it might be the cause of this issue.
I do not get any similar crashes with any other game.

Any potential fix for this?

Here are some of my PC specs and connection speed:

CPU: i7 3770
GPU : Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB
16GB RAM @ 1333hz
1TB Samsung EVO 860 SSD

Connection:
400Mbit Down and 22Mbit up with a stable 8 ping to the nearest server.
I live in Germany, if that helps anything.

Hey folks! I'm sorry you are both experiencing this. In terms of more frequent crashes during HC mode after the latest update, we have made the developers aware and they are investigating. In the meantime, please run through this FAQ to ensure there's nothing else causing this crash as well.

If we require more information for our investigation, we will let you guys know. Losing HC characters due to a crash is possible, so it may be a little risky to play as them while this is being looked into. Your patience is really appreciated!
