Not sure what happened exactly. Installed the latest experimental patch, clicked on "Play" and bam - blue screen. Upon restarting my PC it shows as not installed and I do now have to reinstall the entire game.

Hello Vasamard and thank you for the report.
Were you able to take a note of the error message that appeared with the blue screen (if there was one)? And has the issue occurred since re-installing the game? There have been reports of such behaviour from other games on Steam as well and it might be possibly a Steam side problem.
Regards,
Geez

Hello Vasamard.
It appears that the issue has been caused by the BattlEye client and a fix has been released for the 0.62 stable and 0.63 experimental versions just now. Please let us know in case you experience this issue even after these updates.
Regards,
Geez
