Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• I have the latest nVidia App & drivers installed and was running 2020 with DX11 without issues until today. The change was upgrading from a 3070 Ti 8GB card to a 5070 Ti 16GB card. I was able to run 2020 once with the new card installed and my existing settings. After that, 2020 crashed every launch just past the midway loading point as others have described.
To trouble shoot, I reinstalled the nVidia drivers, tried Safe Mode, tried the Windows 11 Installed Apps “Repair” option, & the “Reset” option (which subsequently required a new download and install of 2020) all to no avail.
I finally got 2020 running again by using the nVidia App’s recommended optimization settings for 2020 which switches it to DX12 among other changes.
To confirm this wasn’t a fluke, using the 2020 General Options menu, I changed it back to DX11 and quit as required by the DX change. 2020 CTD again at the same spot when I tried to relaunch it. I used the nVidia App to make its recommended changes again and was again able to relaunch 2020.
In summary, 2020 was working fine with the nVidia App, the same drivers and a 3070 Ti card but now can’t run DX11 with the 5070 Ti card. I had tried DX12 with 2020 some time ago and had stability issues so switched back to DX11 and have been happy with it since. I don’t see removing the nVidia App as a solution given I use it to keep the drivers up to date.
Really hope this issue, which seems to potentially be related to just the 40 and 50 series cards, can be resolved.
EDIT: Wanted to mention I also emptied my community folder (first) when I started trouble shooting.
EDIT: Driver version 572.83
