Crash after pressing PLAY

[(NSW)Rhazie_G]

so I was playing fine, farming for ALU's when the Hildyrn update came in. I was told I'd be logged out in 15 minutes against my will anyway (hate that) so I logged out, downloaded the update, verified and optimized (as I do with all major updates) and havent been able to play since.

I have: 

1. done multiple reinstalls,
2. made sure all drivers were up to date(they already were)
3. fixed all instances of DX 10 and 11 on my rig
4. deleted discord in general
5. again, optimized and verified
6. tried different resolution settings
7. manually deleted the game from steam and installed it directly

None of these have worked. It goes to to loadscreen and after 1 second I get a prompt asking me to submit a report.  I just wanna play the game I pumped $50 the last week alone again. Checking crash reports only gives me: Crash reason: GPF and NO ONE WILL TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS. I've tried getting help from support but they are next to useless on this matter since they wont even reply.
