I do have razer synapse software installed, but disabled at windows startup, since I no longer use a razer keyboard (haven’t for about 1 year). Issue only popped up in last couple of months though.
Solved the crashes by updating LocalPrefs file from 0 to 1.
DisableChromaEffects "1"
Client now launches properly.
Best guess, there is a bug where if it fails to load chroma effects it causes client to crash rather than continuing without them.
