My kids computer couldn't start Rage 2 for some reason. Went in the application event logs and saw the following...

Seems, we left over some traces of an old driver from Radeon when we upgraded his system with a GTX 1050. It seems that Rage 2 tries to do something with the file amdvlk64.dll and maybe thinks he still had a AMD video card. I simply deleted it and it resolved his issue.
If you have a Nvidia now and had a AMD card before, maybe try that or check the Event application logs to see if you have another type of issue on crash.

Always use DDU before installing new drivers.
