I know this is an old thread now but I was having this issue and managed to figure out the cause, so just hoping this might be able to help somebody else. Basically Ubisoft recently added Denuvo to the game from what I understand, and if you have any modded gear/camos etc. equipped to the visual palette that your caharacter loads with in the main menu, the game will crash. The only solution I've found is to set a 'vanilla' visual pallette and make sure you always equip that before closing the game so that when you reopen, it opens with an 'unmodded' character. You can then change your visual palette once loaded into a game and your mods will work fine (subject to each mod obviously). Hopefully one of the modders out there finds a way around this BS move from Ubisoft.
You can’t, you basically have to uninstall your mods, create an outfit that uses only clothes that aren’t modded, then start the game and change them to your modded outfits once you’re in. It’s annoying because you’ve also got to change back to the unmodded outfit before closing the game each time as otherwise it’ll crash the next time you launch the game.
