An NVIDIA Driver Crash/Soft Lock that prevents the game from loading is under investigation. In the meantime, we've implemented a work around for the cause of the crash to change how shader compilation works. This change may cause some micro-stuttering during initial load, but will hopefully avoid the driver crash that prevents game from starting.

Please verify files after patching.
