Crash on launch after new patch?

[rune2h]

After the patch on 2/25/2025, the game no longer launches. It spins up to about 8% CPU usage on task manager before crashing with no notice. This may be a problem on my end, as this has happened with a lot of other games (UE games and RedEngine games can't run even if prior to about a year ago, they ran just fine), but I really don't want this to be a problem that's expanding to Source games as well as those are my bread and butter. If there's any way that I can assist (error/crash logs that I'm unaware of) please let me know.

Can you search your steam directory for *.mdmp and send me the latest .mdmp files (if there are any from today) please?

Here you go, thanks for the quick response!

The crash is GPU related. i would recommend updating your GPU drivers if you haven't recently.

After updating to the latest nvidia driver, it still produces the same issue. Here's the related .mdmp

Still same crash. it's something when loading nvcuda64.dll which could be a variety of things.

you can try using launch option -vulkan to see if that makes it launch. if that doesn't work i'm not sure what the issue is. Good luck.

Welp, looks like I'll need to get that looked in to in order to play Deadlock as well, great... Thanks for the help regardless.
