Hey, I may have a fix for the crash on launch bug. Previously -dx11 was the only workaround which makes everything look worse, but in the most recent patch I just released I added a new launch option that could fix the crash: -vulkan If you're having the crashes and feel like testing it out, let me know how it goes! If this fix appears to be stable for everyone, I will add a launcher option so that it is easily accessible.
To edit launch options, right click on the game in your library and select "properties", and then "installed files" on the left hand side. In that panel you will see "launch option", type -vulkan into there. Hopefully it works for you! If not, I'm still working on the fix. Cheers
