Hello,

I was able to launch the game with no issues as recently as this morning. However, starting a couple hours ago, it only launches approximately 1 time in 10 once I press "launch" in the launcher. Instead, I usually get an error popup, and an error similar to the following appears in the Windows event viewer afterward:

Code:

I have tried the following:
  • Restarted my computer
  • Reset game settings from the launcher
  • Run game in DX9 mode
  • Set in-game settings to almost minimum (all graphical frills except borderless window turned to minimum or disabled)

None of these seem to have fixed the issue, it still only launches rarely. The only change I can think of that I made since this morning and now is that I installed VMware Workstation Player, but I can't imagine why that would affect anything. Any ideas would be helpful.
