Thanks for the Response FuryoftheStars, Graphics drivers are up to date, I have Nvidia Geforce Experience installed that keeps it up to date. I'll try a full uninstall and reinstall, see if that helps. just to note though, i have other games running no issues.
And yes, when I launch the game, I get to the Boxelware logo, and then it will eventually crash. I do not get to the point where I choose singleplayer or multiplayer and load a galaxy. haven't touched the game via cli.
I can try to record my screen if you think that would help.
