Does anyone have an issue with the game where the first time i open the game after i start my pc it runs fine for hours, but after i close the game (fully, no processes in task manager)and open it again it will start lagging/freezing. For example the map will open normally for the first few minutes, but afterwards the game will freeze along with my pc for 30ish seconds. This feels like a weird memory leak, but the only way to fix it is to restart my pc.

As to the issue:
0.) Using any mods, or have you ever used any in the past?
1.) Do you use any antivirus software like Norton, McAffee, Comodo, etc?
2.) Running any streaming or video capture software in the background?
It sounds to me as if there is something remaining resident in the RAM after the game terminates. It doesn't have to be the game itself. It could be driver-related, something that isn't unloading from DirectX, something in the REDlauncher, something through the platform you're running (GOG, Steam, Epic, etc.) and so forth.
Something like a reshade mod or mod manager that was never fully closed between launches could also result in that sort of thing, so question 0.) is always the starting point.
