Launcher crashes with exit code -1073741819

launcher_log.txt

^{When ever I try to start the game the launcher crashes the first time almost every time. Most times the game will start on the second try but not always. There have been a few time when repeated attempts must be done to get the game started.  The typical scenario is: I click the play button, the launcher window closes, a few seconds pass, then the launcher window reappears and a crash screen pops up. I close the popup screen, push the play button again and the launcher window closes and most times the game will go ahead and start}
