Sometimes this crash occurs in 10 minutes, sometimes it takes a couple hours. Can't figure out what is causing it or how to fix it. The game will just freeze mid swing while mining, shooting, driving or even walking. 

System Info:

Ryzen 7

MSI gtx 1660 ti

32gigs of ram

win 10 newest version, up to date, all extras updates included.

Drivers all up to date

This appears to be an access violation. Which can be caused by a number of things.

Ensure that the client is properly excluded from security software.

Ensure that you don't have any RAM issues by running memtest.

Ensure that your hard disk is error free.

Ensure that you do indeed have the latest drivers. (Windows updates will install outdated/broken drivers for LAN, Chipset, and GPU on a regular basis. Always ensure that you refresh all critical system drivers after a Windows update.) 

Ensure that the Pagefile is set to "System Managed". Doesn't matter how much RAM you have, manually locking this will cause issues. It also will not save your SSD. That is a myth.

Changed the setting for the Pagefile, We'll see how that goes. Everything else you mentioned has already been done with no errors. And I don't run security software. 

 
It's nothing to be scared about. You don't need security software if you know what you're doing and you're careful. Stay away from bull@%$# sites, scams, ect. I've got 25 years of experience on internet security. Thats not to say I don't have security software, I just don't run it all the time. Especially when i'm playing a game. And of course stay away from the porn sites!

My current record for repair is a wee bit over 850,000 infections.  If they didn't absolutely have to have bank data that couldn't be pulled out by just copying the files, I wouldn't have even attempted it.  Took a couple of days, but I did manage to purge all the infections.  Main source of infection, husband visiting porn sites on a separate profile in the PC.  I left him a little note in his user profile.

 
Well I got to play most of the day but it crashed yet again. Almost thought that was fixed but apparently its still not. Not sure what to do next. 

 
Please use steam to validate your game. Even if you have done it already, there were cases where two validations were necessary.

Secondly please post the full log (through pastebin or similar), this is explained in a pinned thread in this forum section.

where you seem to have been thrown out of the game.

Then there were two server restarts

Then the crash. Was the first event just an unexpected exit and the two server restarts were expected? Why so many restarts in only 10 minutes?

The error seems to have happened in unity, so it could be a driver problem. It could also be network-related.

I would propose a few experiments:

Play on that server but turn down texture size to half. This is just to make sure that 6G is enough for full texture display. Does it crash?

Next: Play a local game and check memory and GPU mem usage from time to time. Does it happen there? Do you see memory increasing constantly? I know, you have @%$#loads of RAM, but just to be on  the safe side

If it does happen in a local single player game, post that logfile. Being on a server can muddy the waters if it hasn't anything to do with server/client stuff.

If it does not happen, ask the server owner if he uses any mods. Ask what he sees in his log when you crash.

 
WTF, it's not running though! I even eliminated it from startup and rebooted right after. 

So Kaspersky must be running background without showing in services. 

and that's the cause of the crash?

Well either way, exclusions have been made for all games. One can only hope that this was the issue.

Sorry, I was only poking a little fun. I don't know at all that that one DLL is the cause of your crashes, though my impression is that Kapersky is not highly regarded in general. Just for troubleshooting, it might be worth it to try uninstalling it temporarily. And look closely at your process list before firing up 7D2D in case something else has burrowed in.

Well after you get in trouble for using your software to steal data from the NSA, it's hard to come back from it. (Which may not have actually happened the way they initially thought. That's a funny one.)

In any case, disabling security software fully is typically not possible without completely un-installing it from the system. This is by design due to too many of the viruses we used to write simply disabling the software so they didn't get detected.

Also in regards to the several server restarts. There was a known issue where logging out of a server, and logging into a server without exiting the client could cause a memory leak. It was advised to fully exit the client when switching servers, or re-logging in a disconnect situation.  I know work was being done to fix this issue, but cannot recall off the top of my head right now if it was actually resolved in one of the recent updates.

Something I do find interesting in your logs is the inconsistent amount of RAM allocated. One log is averaging 10GB, and another is only averaging 5-6GB.  The tail end of the logs lead me to believe that it is still an access violation issue though.
