Holy christ, holding shift is working for me. What in gods name...
Uncheck all compatibility and admin modes in you exe files, then try to launch (directly or through launcher) holding Shift key ; I noticed launcher didnt work anymore when I set the exe to run as admin (set for all users > run as admin enabled).
Basically dont mess with exe files, only hold shift and all should be good with up to date visual C redistrib and display drivers.
this is the correct fix for this problem.
hotfix 3 if i do not hold shift, still present the black screen crash
