Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
After playing for quite some time in career (700+ days) the game started to crash whenever I take a contract and start the mission. Sometimes it crashes instantly on a black screen sometimes it goes into the loading screen, freezes and then crashes. The first time it happened I tried to to load an earlier save, managed to complete some contracts but then it started crashing again when I was completing the flashpoint missions. The map/Argo sections work without any issues.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue
It is hard to say why it happens, but, I guess, loading the save and starting any contract should do the trick.

Attach DxDiag (PC), System Info log (Mac), or run sudo lshw -html > specs.html and uploaded specs.html (Linux)

DynamicHeapAllocator out of memory - Could not get memory for large allocation 1102736!
Could not allocate memory: System out of memory!

Odd to see that in a machine with 16gb, but there it is!

Increase your Windows paging file to 32gb, and exit every other app you can before starting the game.

Good luck with that!
