UI is lagging and game keeps crashing

[spare whale]

I downloaded the new update, bought Askiy Ridge and wanted to play.
First time i started the game after the update it instantly crashed.
Then i restarted my pc and the game started. but as soon as i i wanted to select any option the UI was lagging as hell. i could bearly manage too click on anything.
then somehow i managed to to click on play the game was trying to put me on the map, but it crashed after 5 minutes trying it.

in addtion i must say that i have the new dlc "line" or whatever this was called.
Its a shame cause i really wanted to play the new map...
