[0.14.3.2]Random Memory Spike and Freeze/Crash while in Condo (most likely related to AGC)

Ive started having Crash and Freeze issues lately while Building in Resort. It Happens usually around the 1hr mark. Everything is working fine, im not doing anything. sometimes it just happens when i stand around. Game will stutter for a second, then go back to normal, and then freeze. Checking Task manager i noticed that the Memory suddenly spikes from 40-50% to almost 100%. Game will Crash after a while but no Crash Report.
Just now it was running fine in Private Mode, and as soon as i openend it up on Public it started stuttering and then Froze. Cant tell if it only happens in Hosted Mode, or on other maps, have to try.

Summary

So while in my Condo i lost connection to the backend (Units say Offline). when it reconnects the game freezes shortly. it then repeats losing connection and reconneting (freezing for a split second every time). after a few reconnects the game will completely freeze and will crash/not respond.

This might just be a Firewall/NAT thing on my end since i keep losing connection to AGC in the Casino as well. But losing connection and connecting should not cause your game to crash.

If anyone else has this crash issue please let us know here if it is also cause by losing connection to the backend

Additional Edit: Just tested it again, during the session, around every 5-15min it will lose connection and reconnect once. No issues there. only after about 1-2hrs it will get stuck in a loop (disconnected->nearly connected->connected and immediatly disconnect) and after about 4-5 loops it crashes

UPDATE:
I’ve found a workaround. Started using a free VPN and that completely fixed the AGC disconnects and Condo crashes. Which tells me it has to be my connection/ISP or some Firewall. Now my ISP told me that everything seems fine on the connection. Any solution or idea why im losing connection to AGC randomly on my normal connection? already reset modem and lan adapter settings as well as disabled my windows firewall. i also disabled any antivirus to test. but i still get dc’s and crashes.

I’ll leave this still in Bug Report since the dc loop that happens still causes a crash.
