Explanation

I was able to play EFP for one day right after release with no issues in solo, but after I decided to install the "Founders Pack" DLC, the game stopped launching completely. Now it crashes with a "Fatal error".

I have tried the following methods:

• Running as administrator;
• Running with Windows 8 compatibility;
• Verifying Steam file integrity;
• Launching without DLC;
• Disabling Discord / Steam / NVIDIA overlays;
• Reinstalling the game itself;
• Installing the latest NVIDIA driver;
• Launching with -dx11 / -d3d11 / -dx12 parameters (a different error appears);
• Reinstalling Visual C++ (error 0x80070666 occurs because a newer version is already installed);
• Setting the power management mode to maximum performance in NVIDIA Control Panel;
• Changing the registry (TdrDelay).

In the suggested packs folder, I already have the latest version anyway. I've tried everything I could think of and nothing has changed. However, other Steam games work fine for me. Please help! qwq
