Crashing while loading from Character Selecton into The Grim Tangle

Title says it all, the game CTD when I first loaded into the area, now whenever I try and login it just CTD.

Character "Witch"

Spells Skeleton Warrior, Unearth, Discipline on an item

Im not sure what other information I can provide.

I have tried changing server from London to Paris, this resulted in the same effect.

I have now tried to verify the game files and it said 1 file failed to validate, however I am now struggling with "content servers unreachable"

Platform : Steam
+1
I play a mercenary. After going to the location of the castle wall, a crash. Later, after choosing a character, the game takes off. I pumped up another character, at that moment everything repeated itself.
In another similar thread they're recommending to verify file integrity. Supposedly that helps as it finds a missing file.
Same here, Witch as well.
I can play some time, sometimes hours, and then while in the City sorting my inventory... CTD and i cant get back into the game, because it always crashes after character selection.
The crashes not only happen in the city.
While running around an killing things it happens as well. I dont know what changed when i can play again, usually i read the forums for some time and then it works again, with no change on my side.

Changing the Renderer, checking Gamefiles through Steam or selecting a different Character makes no difference. Its frustrating
If you experience this issue, go to Steam-Library- Right click POE2 - Properties - Installed Files - Validate files

This fixes the Tangle issue.
As already metioned, checking file integrity does not do anything for me. It does not find any corrupt files and it does not fix the crashing issue.

Since i did not mention it, i've also already updated windows and the graphics drivers. No change either.

I stoppen playing after some further tries and thought i'll give it another try today. But i did not even clear half of the hunting grounds before it crashed again and then it crashed immediately after character selection.

For another Test, i remove the AppData/PoE2 Folder completly, it does not have any effect, the crashes still appear. I also tried a different character again, but the same happened.

And those crashes appear, regardless of the region, not just the grim tangle.
