@Yin_Yue_, have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache? This will validate the game files to ensure they are correct and not corrupt.

@Jawsh I have been guiding him through it. Yes, he has done that already.

Did you try using a default memory allocator?

Either use -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi or disable/remove the malloc param.

UPDATE: As of patch 1.66 all issues with launching the game appear to be fixed.
Vanilla launcher and third-party programs all can launch the game with and without mods, and no crashes.
Gameplay has thus far shown no issues.
