The game won't start, at all. I get the Bethesda logo, but it crashes immediately after that. Sometimes it doesn't even finish that short movie.
Steps taken:
- Deleted ESO folder in my documents
- Deleted ESO folder from appdata/local
- Updated graphics drivers
- Made sure DPI was at 100% (why would this crash the game!??)
- set both the launcher and game exe to run as admin
- reinstalled the game
- repaired the game from the launcher
Running W10 22H2. No addons whatsoever. Nothing else running either. I'm using the ESO launcher directly, not the steam version.
Nothing running AV wise except windows defender, which did not detect ESO as problematic. I excluded the ESO folder anyway, no luck.
Checking the event viewer it doesn't say much, aside from Exception code: 0xc0000005 - Which would point to a multitude of things, none of which is applicable in this case however:

It's the only game which is giving me issues at the moment. If it was a general issue i'd be seeing it in more games. This leads me to believe one of the included dll's is messing up.
