Game crashes at start screen (after "press A/Enter" command) aft pc drivers upd

I just installed the game today and stumbled upon the same issue.

I figured out another fix:

My Game had no savegame directory under: C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\My Games\GRID Legends\

I simply added two folders which made it work: C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\My Games\GRID Legends\savegame\profile\

I feel like this might be a bit less complicated.
