BugTrap - Crash on StartUp - Steam Version

[siXtreme]

Owned the game for a long time now, several years. Fresh install today.
On launch, BugTrap throws an error and the game won't launch.

The error is the following one:
XR_3DA.exe caused "ACCESS_VIOLATION" in module "C:/...PATH.../bin/XR_3DA.exe" at 0023:000DB95E, CPerlinNoise3D::Get()+58430 byte(s)

What I've tried so far (spoiler, it's alot):
- Fresh install, on boot drive, and on a secondary drive
- Verifying integrity of game files
- Every executable related to the game set to "Administrator Right", also the Windows useraccount is an admin aswell.
- Every related executable set to run in each compatibility mode.
- ... PATH\_appdata_\user.ltx --> deleted
- ... PATH\_appdata_\user.ltx --> fullscreen setting off
- ... PATH\STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl\fsgame.ltx --> set new path according to https://www.metacognix.com/stlkrsoc/TroubleshootingFAQ.html#UserFiles

- Excluded every related executable from the Data Execution Prevention, via the Cotnrol Panel GUI
- Disabled DEP entirely via console
- Disabled every single virus, malware, core and memory isolation, and Exploit protection in Windows Security


I've troubleshooted many games and programs over the years, and usually excluding it from DEP or Exploit and Memory Protection will eventually make it run. But this one, idk this just doesn't want to run ffs.

I've seen some mentions of keys not working, but I've owned this game for like 6 years or so now. Also apparently one of the Beta channels actually works, according to a source I can't remember. Will try that for the last, but afaik this game already isn't very stable and running a beta channel certainly will increase the amount of crashes even more.

Anyone any further ideas?

Ok so for an update. The game won't launch, no matter what I tried.
BUT 4 days ago on 26.09.2022 according to SteamDB there was an update which released a new Beta channel for the game, which is called "beta - pre 1.0007". If you opt in on this Beta, the game will launch and run just fine.

Cheers
