After patch 0.7.972 the game crashes after starting.

Error
After starting, the loading screen appears. After a few seconds you will hear a quiet crack and the UE4 Error pop up:
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000000000000018c

I know it's a terrrible old GPU. You can by me a new one if you want to. :)

Software
Windows 10 Pro, 64 Bit
DirectX 12.0
latest update Visual C++
Platform Steam

Does not work
- settings.ini workaround
- Setup TDRDelay
- Update Visual C++ and DirectX
- Update GPU-Driver
- Update Windows (i don't know why this shoud work but i've tried it)
- Rename/Delete OpenXR
- run the game as root
- optimize settings in NVIDIA Control Panel
- run with older DirectX versions
- reinstall the game and all settings

Does work
before patch 0.7.972 the game runs perfect on my old GPU. For run this versoin i've done the workaround settings.ini and renamed OpenXR.

Thx for help :)

When I got these sorts of errors with Palworld I had some luck loading a less complex map and then loading the save that failed to load. Might help.

I am having same problem with 6700XT. Game is unplayable at this point. Worked fine on all other beta versions.

Nvidia 1050 Ti 4g vram is about the lowest you want for this game. that is the lowest gpu, I could get this game to work on during pre EA beta testing.

The Game runs now perfekt with this setting in settings.ini:
r.FidelityFX.FSR2.Enabled=0

I played on my old 660 before this patch and now the game runs perfect after this patch. It's not that hard to optimize Video-Settings for older GPUs. And Manor Lords is not CS 2. You don't need 120 FPS in this game. ;)
