Can't launch game - Aftermath Error 0xbad00000

[AshenTemper 219]

Anyone run into this and, if so, know how to solve it? The game patches fine and then when I go to launch the game from the patcher, I get this issue (I'll put an image below as well):

Aftermath Error 0xbad00000

Things I've tried:

1. Using the Repair feature in the launcher
2. Completely uninstalling the game to include deleting the directories and reinstalling
3. I use an nVidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super and I have the latest drivers
4. I'm using DirectX 12, Windows 10 64-Bit (build 19042)
5. I've tried installing the game as Administrator and running it as such
6. I doubt it matters but I have it installed on "S" drive which is an SSD

Any ideas?

FYI, I did email support but figured if someone else ran into this, they might have a quick resolution and if someone else is having this error, they might see this and find a way to fix it as well.

Yep! Gordon pointed me in the right direction. For some reason, it looks like it's an issue with GeForce Experience so this is what I did to fix it:

1. Uninstalled GeForce Experience
2. Rebooted
3. Installed the latest NVIDIA drivers manually from: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
   1. Making sure not to install GeForce Experience
   2. Doing it as a clean install
4. Rebooted
5. Launched the Crowfall patcher and then the game

And, it worked!
