Hello,
according to the log you're missing one of the files from Microsoft .NET Framework. You should be able to fix the issue by re-installing the .NET Framework, the latest version 4.6.1 can be downloaded from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49982

I tried verifying the game cache and it did not fix itself.

Hello,
seems that the main configuration file of your .NET Framework is still corrupted. You can replace it by using a backup file (providing that it is not corrupted as well):

  1. Go to the folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\
  2. There should be 3 files:
    • machine.config
    • machine.config.comments
    • machine.config.default (note: you have to disable hiding extension to see the extensions)
  3. Move file 'machine.config' somewhere else (e.g. to desktop).
  4. Make a copy of 'machine.config.default'
  5. Rename that copy to 'machine.config'
  6. If you could pack the original 'machine.config' to ZIP and upload it here so we can investigate the way it is corrupted it will be helpful to us.
