Crash on startup (full error message included)

[lorddemon]

The game crashes 100% of time shortly after launch (right after BULKHEAD INTERACTIVE splash) on my laptop (Zephyrus G16 2024 with Core Ultra 9 185H and RTX 4090). All drivers are up to date.

Here is the error message from logs for DX11:

<ErrorMessage>LowLevelFatalError [File:C:\Build\UnrealEngine\firstlaw412\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Util.cpp] [Line: 288] &nl;Direct3DDevice-&gt;CreateTexture2D(TextureDesc,SubResourceData,OutTexture2D) failed &nl; at C:\Build\UnrealEngine\firstlaw412\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Texture.cpp:434 &nl; with error E_INVALIDARG, &nl; Size=22284x556x1 Format=(0x0000002C), NumMips=1, Flags=D3D11_BIND_DEPTH_STENCIL D3D11_BIND_SHADER_RESOURCE &nl;</ErrorMessage>

Here is the error message from logs for DX12:

Please advise.

I tried potential solutions from other threads and they did not help.

The following has helped some people, but is not a guaranteed fix:
Navigate to the appdata folder (open a windows explorer window and type %appdata%)
Go up one folder (you should see Local, LocalLow and Roaming)
Enter the Local folder and delete the 'VenusPrototype' folder
Verify integrity of game cache through Steam
Re-launch the game

Other people are reporting that disabling integrated graphics fixes the issue.
