The game launches one without or with audio (both vulkan and dx11) then instantly crashes after trying to launch second time. After verifying files or restarting PC I can do the same loop again.
What I've tried:
* Closing Steelseries gg / Sonar
* Closing MSI Afterburner / Rivatuner
* Changing threads / Closing Process Lasso
* Enabling/Disabling Windows audio enhancements
* Launching game directly with launch commands on steam
* Disabling Radeon overlay
* Disabling Steam overlay
* Deleting AppData/Local/Larian Studios folders
* Reinstalling vcredist
For me personally it seems like audio issue, at first it tries to set audio device but fails (saves it to config) then second launch tries to attach the same corrupted audio config and crashes immediatly. I'm unsure what to do.
