Update, it launched successfully on the 15th attempt. I didn’t do anything different, so not sure what.
Rebooting computer / rebooting game didn’t seem to matter.

Crossing my fingers and hoping it was a temporary bug, somehow?

This specific crash is on our radar and we’re looking into it.

I’m glad to hear that the issue seemingly resolved on its own, although very strange!

Well, it was good for a day, and came back tonight. I wish it was more consistent, so that some kind of pattern may emerge, I understand it’s more helpful!

Going to just keep trying to connect and hope for the best.
