Crashing on 'Loading Particles' During Launch- Update 1.0

Yea. Seems to be getting more common but everyone has a different cause, fix and explanation for the problem. Sometimes I am able to brute force it by just launching the game enough times in different ways (with or without EAC, as admin or not) and ill never have an issue while IN the game, the problem is actually getting there.

I tried updating my drivers since an update was released recently, so i have two logs, one from before the update and one from after. Game will stay on Loading Particles until i attempt any input (clicking, window out, key taps) then it will lock up and crash.

This only started occurring after i updated into the 1.0 build. Before that i was running a modded (with the mod launcher), but i cleaned all those files out before the update. Verified files, and restarted the PC, everything short of a fresh install.

If it's relevant, i have a weird quirk where very specific games can't be played on this PC for seemingly no reason. I've played them fine before, clocking hours long sessions without issue. Now they will launch, but after about 1-2 minutes my monitor will black out and read "no input detected" and can only be fixed by a hard reboot to the tower. This happened to the same games across multiple cards (RX 580 Armor, RX 580 Dragon, RX 6900XT Devil) and nothing has fixed it. Currently the only games doing this are Days Gone (Beat the game, issue appeared once i started NG+), Dying Light (56 hours, issue appeared after a power blip) and Borderlands 3 (over 20 hours, random crash then issue). I went as far as to completely wipe cloud and save data and fresh install steam to a new HDD. Doesnt strike me as relevant but hey more info cant hurt,

Read the blue banner. Follow the instructions.

You might also fully refresh the client.

Don't forget to exclude it from security software. This is covered in the Support FAQ.

Once you are done with all that, I would recommend picking up a newer CPU. No point in having a nice GPU when it is heavily bottlenecked by your archaic processor that doesn't even properly support multithreading. With a BIOS update you could drop a 5600X in there with ease and get easily double the performance. Plus, games relying on multithreading support will perform 30-40% better on top of that.

Ive never even thought about my CPU during my upgrades. I dont know much about the numbers, so how does a Ryzen 9 5900X mark up to my GPU? (https://shop-us-en.amd.com/amd-ryzen-9-5900x-desktop-processor/)

Im also running a Tomahawk (i think) B450 motherboard.

 
If you're just interested in gaming performance, the 5800x3d is the king of that platform. If you're doing production work, go for one of the higher core count cpus. (like 5900x or 5950x) Make sure your motherboard vendor has a bios that supports the newer chip first.

I would right now replace my 3900X probably with a 5800X3D if I had spare money for it, but I do a lot of other work that I really lean on the extra cores for, so my second choice would be a 5950X. The latter is what we are currently using for hosting our game servers. The 5950X with 128GB of RAM has managed 8-12 game servers just fine without any struggles. I did set a custom OC curve on it though for the most optimal performance.

I mainly mentioned the 5600X because it is a good budget-conscious CPU that I have used in a few builds for other people recently. And as far as game performance with this title goes, it handles just as well as my older 3900X. The Tomahawk is a good board. I used it on my most recent build. Set it up with 32GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM and a 68000XT.
