Sorry to hear you're having issues. Thanks for all the info and the logs though, that helps.

You have sufficient VRAM, your GPU drivers are up to date, and you've tried low-end settings. That's a good start but also makes the crash a bit more confusing. The logs don't have any major error jumping out either.

You say that your game is installed to a non-default location, I wonder if that could be part of the issue? Maybe some part of the game or its config can't find something it's looking for. Did you install and move all of the files manually or follow the un/reinstall method with clearing the Windows registry?

HI, thanks for the response. I was able to resolve it by installing as local user to default AppData location selected by the installer and using the default settings, however, changing the settings stops it from working.

Found the issue. Setting thumbnails for parts to 2K causes the crash.
