My specs:
i5-4690k with Turboboost @4.5Ghz
Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8GB Nitro+ (1342Mhz)
HyperX Fury Black 16 GB DDR3 1866Mhz
Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB HDD
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
ASUS Z97-C Motherboard
Corsair CX500 PSU
I used to have an XFX Radeon HD 7850 before and played the game with the same install without any problems. I got the RX 480 a couple of months ago and decided to give the game ago once more to have a better experience. A few seconds into the game and it just crashes all the time at the same spot. To be more specific it's in the intro mission when you go down to cut the ropes of the cargo. I have tried everything, reinstalling, creating a missing cache storage folder, startup commands, nothing worked. AMD Driver Version 16.12.1

I reinstalled my drivers with DDU and it seemed to work. I progressed further into the game, but now it crashes the same way again at a specific area in a mission.
 
FYI: That PSU is a really really bad choice for you system. It's only designed for low-end office computers, not gaming computers like yours.

But it sounds like something is wrong with your game data files, or you GPU is bad, like the game tries to access a certain piece of it and that's why it crashes.

I reinstalled the game already, so it's got nothing to do with the files themselves. I recently read on a recent reddit thread that someone with an RX 480 rolled back his drivers and it worked for him. I guess it's up to AMD to fix this.
