The issue could be related to the following modules found in the stack trace:
module ‘NvMemMapStoragex’.
module ‘nvwgf2umx’. This module is related to Nvidia drivers. If this is a recurring issue please try clean install drivers.


Update: Had it crash once after doing a run after this post, then it worked perfectly fine starting up. Second crash GUID here

Unf the only thing that got it to truly work was soft restarting windows but do that as a last resort

I mean when u soft restart windows u dont lose anything.

Some small things may change but not much but i had the same issue where it seems gpu related and doing that was the only fix for me

other then that just try clean reinstall drivers

reinstalling the game (deleteting the appdata fatshark folder before u do)

and thats pretty much it
