Game crashes randomly during the first game

Step 1 : Boot the game

Step 2 : Play anything, survivor or killer.

Step 3 : Load up into first game after booting DBD.

Step 4 : Game crashes randomly a couple minutes into the match, there doesn't seem to be any reason for it or at least I haven't seemed to have found what causes it.
