Game Crashes on launch
I have been playing for a few days with no problem whatsoever, but since the big update last Thursday, the game simply won't start. I only get a black screen (a black window if I change the .cfg file to WindowMode = 0) and then back to desktop without even a single error message.
There was a big Windows update on the same day, so I thought it might be a .NET framework problem and I tried removing the update (and even reinstalling windows, and then the game) but it had no effect.
The only info I can get on this crash is in the Windows Event Log :
<Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> <System> <Provider Name="Application Error" /> <EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID> <Version>0</Version> <Level>2</Level> <Task>100</Task> <Opcode>0</Opcode> <Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2021-02-16T13:10:53.0414918Z" /> <EventRecordID>1099</EventRecordID> <Correlation /> <Execution ProcessID="0" ThreadID="0" /> <Channel>Application</Channel> <Computer>XXX</Computer> <Security /> </System> <EventData> <Data>SpaceEngineers.exe</Data> <Data>1.0.0.0</Data> <Data>cbb8edaf</Data> <Data>KERNELBASE.dll</Data> <Data>10.0.19041.804</Data> <Data>0e9c5eae</Data> <Data>c0000005</Data> <Data>00000000000280d9</Data> <Data>3864</Data> <Data>01d7046512bdae8e</Data> <Data>D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Bin64\SpaceEngineers.exe</Data> <Data>C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNELBASE.dll</Data> <Data>a575beb8-ed32-462a-8eca-3bdc09f8c140</Data> <Data /> <Data /> </EventData> </Event>
And here are my logs (there is no real error msg in there though)
I also tried sfc /scannow (with Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth just in case), and a memtest on startup. No error detected.
If anyone has any idea about how to fix this, I'll be forever grateful, since I'm completely stuck with this and have tried everything I could think of.

This workaround seems to have worked for me.
