Game keeps crashing on startup after the 3/07/2026 patch (Resolved)

Title.
No mods, files verified, no popups, no nothing, game loads in for a little bit then crashes while still "running" according to Steam.

Game ran fine enough before the patch.
Intel Core i5-7300HQ
NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050
32GB RAM

Problem resolved, it wasn't related to any game issue but an irl friend pulling a prank on me and swapping dx11 to vulcan
