You mean the Hive exile start right?
I just tried it and no issues here, I can run to the hub and enter it with no crash.

Have you tried any other starts? Can you go to the hub in other situations?

Any modification you made to the modlist?

Update to the post - issue solved, kinda.

Changed view distance from 9k to 6k and after that game freezes, I don't touch anything, and game keeps running well after 10-15 seconds. I think the problem is a lot of buildings and NPCs start loading and game kinda struggles not to crash.

Didn't get further from Hub, so, maybe the problem will reappear, but I guess waiting is the solution (and render distance lowering)

The only difference I made to modlist is disabling both mods that make nights much darker (for some reason the game is unplayable at nights on my monitor, not gonna try to fix it, I like the original nights brightness) and modern font (bc it doesn't work on Russian localization)

Anyways, thanks for modpack, game's looking fresh and new! Looking for further updates and wish you good luck!

That collection does up the requirements for Ram and Vram quite a lot indeed, although these were already pretty high in Vanilla with high settings. Reducing the render distance should help with that.

The mods you removed shouldn't cause issues, but I'm not sure if playing in any other language than english won't, just for information.

English isn't my first language either, but most mods are made in that language. It might only cause some parts to be in English anyway, but I can't be absolutely sure that it won't cause bigger issues.
