STEAM VERSION
since the SU5 still have the exact issue.
On Internet:
Start Sim → Waiting for it load as usual → go through checking for update page → shows the background photo with 3 flags (I forgot which lol) → blue bar reaches about 50% → CTD
I check event viewer, nothing is there.
Off Internet
Start sim → Loading as usual → the “want to play offline” popup comes → I click okay → sim loads as it should and works, I even tested a few of my mods and they work as well → I Connect to my internet → Sim crashes after connecting to a server
In the new update, safe mode is useless to me.

Did some other stuff some users suggested, Also the did usual US lang, no community folder, turn off non-microsoft apps yadda yadda
very reluctant on resetting windows / Reinstalling the sim again (already did this like 4 times) because some user stated that they still have issues after doing this
SO FAR I have been able to disconnect my internet then play the game offline and going to settings to turn online functionality off, only then I can connect back to my internet as usual but the moment I turn online functionality on again then the same CTD no error happens again.
I really Highly doubt this is a software/hardware issue per se (drivers updates, disable programs etc) but some sort of online/server error.
