Windows is up to date ✔ No ram overclocking / xmp ✔ I'm not entirely sure what could be causing the issue but free to keep tossing potential issues at me maybe something will click for this game to work!

Thanks for the response, I'll break down what I witnessed. Adding exclusions as you mentioned on the windows defender. Didn't work sadly. As for any kind of further crash reports in the "TheFunPimps" directory, Their wasn't anything there either 😕 I also re-installed my graphics drivers just in case. I then completely uninstalled the game and all of it's directories using this method: Start Task manager and End task on either of these if running: 7DaysToDie.exe 7DaysToDie_EAC.exe Start the Steam Client Navigate to Games Library Right-Click 7 Days To Die Click Properties Click Local Files Tab Click the Browse Local Files Button -This will open a Windows Explorer Window. The next Steps Take Place in Windows Explorer Double-Click to open the EasyAntiCheat folder. Right-Click EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe and select Run As Administrator Click Uninstall, then check the Drop-Down. If 7 Days To Die is listed, select it, and then Click Next to Uninstall 7 Days To Die Easy AntiCheat. If 7 Days To Die is not listed as a Game selection option, then click Cancel. In Windows Explorer, go up 2 Levels so that you should now see the '7 Days Top Die' folder which is likely '\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\' For now leave this Windows Explorer open but switch back to the Steam Client You should still have the properties screen for 7 Days To Die open, and be on the Local Files tab, if not, please follow the steps above to get there again. Click the Delete Local Content Button - This will uninstall the game, follow the prompts. Back to the Windows Explorer that we left running at probably '\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\' Right-Click the 7 Days To Die folder Click Delete Type the following into the address bar without the quotes then press enter: '%UserProfile%\Documents' If you see a 7 Days To Die Folder (7DTD), Right-Click the 7 Days To Die (7DTD) folder and then Click Delete Type the following into the address bar without the quotes then press enter: '%AppData%' If you see a 7 Days To Die Folder (7DTD), Right-Click the 7 Days To Die (7DTD) folder and then Click Delete WARNING: The Next Steps involve the Registry. You can really mess your system up if you make a mistake or have a problem. Neither I, nor The Fun Pimps, nor any other person on the planet but yourself can take responsibility for following the remaining steps. The following steps are listed for completeness in potential troubleshooting techniques. If you choose not to delete the registry entries, skip to the after the Close Regedit step and re-install the game. Click Start In the app finder, or the run dialog, type 'regedit.exe' without quotes and hit enter Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Fun Pimps\ Right-Click the 7 Days To Die key Click Delete Close Regedit Close Explorer Click Install on 7 Days To Die in Steam Client Right-Click 7 Days To Die in the Steam Client Click Properties Click Set Launch Options Button Delete anything in that field Click OK a few times Try Playing. After completing the uninstall, I rebooted my PC and launched the game, just for it to happen immediately again, I'll leave the only log I have from the attempt I made. Log: https://pastebin.com/0DaQMvd6 At this point, I've been messing around with this for days on end, hours each day, it's getting really frustrating but I appreciate any further support as this seems like a very rare issue and finding any kind of information online has been grasping at straws. I'd also like to point out if I hadn't before, the game was working completely fine with no issues just a week prior with no crashes or performance issues what-so-ever, I'm just at a complete loss here. Just wanna play
