Game flatlining on startup [FIXED]
Like the title says, game keeps flatlining on startup with or without mods.
I looked at my specs and in theory everyhting should check out, I mean I upgraded my pc last winter so nothing should be outdated.

I haven't tried launching in 1.63 legacy edition, so maybe that'll work, but I would also like to get the temperance ending and I saw that using the legacy version will disable achievements.

Posting this anyways so the devs know that something is up, I mean everybody is saying "this is broken" or "this doesn't work" or "can't do X" so I'm sure they're aware, and this might help by bumping it or something.
In the meantime I'd reccomend just waiting 'till stuff is in a workable state again, most people probably play with mods and they need to updated as well which is going to take a little while.
At least that's what I'm going to do, have other games I can play in the meantime.

Anyways, everybody calm down, there will probably be a patch for the patch ariving in a few days. This game has had bugs since the start, y'all really though there would no more problems? This is a major update, if certain things go wrong in a minor update you'd think there wouldn't go things wrong here?

UPDATE: I messed around with a few things. It seems that setting it back to 1.63 via the BETA section lets me play normally. I updated my driver and tried 2.0 and it still flatlined on start, tried to start up via the exe file but that also didn't work.
So if you really want to play but can't due to problems with the new 2.0 update just revert it back via BETA, otherwise just wait it out.

UPDATE 2a: aight so I just deleted I believe the bin folder, then uninstalled the game, then installed it again, and now it works somehow?
So I guess if you have a problem with the game not wanting to start try deleting the bin folder and re-installing the game.

Update 2b: I just started the game up again to see if it was a fluke, everything went smoothly, so no fluke. So like I said earlier try deleting the bin folder and then re-instal in the game.

I'll keep this up in case things change or people encounter the same problem.

My game flatlined when I tested a few mods, but it's running flawlessly in vanilla mode on my system.

Same here.
Fresh install, all mods removed.

If you mean by this comment that you can't launch the game. The launcher is completly broken. Driver incompability. That said you can play the game from game.exe in the game files. However the game is so broken atm, that you are better off not playing at all.

I had the same issue, but it was resolved by deleting all the mod files. I had to look at Nexus to see which ones I had downloaded and remove the individual files. Maybe try a fresh install.

Same here, I just made a post cause nobody seemed to have this problem.

No mods. Fresh install. Fresh save. Keeps crashing almost randomly. Once after character creation, again during a loading screen and once more after changing setting

Did crash for me because of controlled folder access. Maybe that is your issue.
Open Windows Defender->Virus & Threat Protection, click Manage settings under Virus & Threat Protection, Click Manage Controlled folder access->Allow app through Controlled folder access, allow the game there.
Hope this helps.

Disable mods even if you don't have any, click the cog next to "play" in the launcher.

one solution was to turn off HDD mode in gameplay settings.
