I haven't played for months. Game used to launch and play fine. Not sure what happened. Now it crashes on start. Only getting a dark screen. I've let it sit for a few minutes that way and nothing. Always have to end process manually. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Double checked virtual memory. Screen resolution and settings fine. Drivers are up to date. I also downloaded Windows Scripting as another post suggested. Still no luck. Debug report is below. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you!
