Possible fix for older nvidia cards.

Newer 582.28 driver was causing game to crash after the launcher, reinstalled old 581.80 driver after running DDU and was back up and running on my 1080. Guessing it's related to nvidia retiring maxwell, pascal, and volta cards. To anyone experiencing issues since mid January, hopefully this helps.
