Steps to reproduce:

Log in (the crash happens both online and offline).
When the main menu attempts to load, the game freezes and then crashes to the desktop immediately, with no error message.

Reinstalling the game, clearing AppData, changing skins, updating/downgrading GPU drivers, or using NVIDIA optimizations does not fix the issue.
The crash happens consistently, even offline.
