Skate. causes GPU to crash on launch

When I try launching skate my GPU usage goes to 100 percent then crashes, which causes my monitors to restart. When the screens finally show my desktop again; skate is windowed, unresponsive, and showing a white screen. I then have to go into task manager or steam to close it. I was able to run the game perfectly fine before the update, I have a very capable computer so I see no reason this should be happening. Sometimes it works and I get into the game, but that's only once every twentyish attempts and I find myself gliding during challenges. Everything is up to date on my end, is this an issue with the game? I have uninstalled and reinstalled as well as verified the game files multiple times. I tried that AI 'Next step' bot thing and it didn't respond after I told it my issue. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
