Game messes up my GPU's drivers on launch

Question

I have RTX 2070 Super and for some reason somewhat frequently on launch the game would mess up my GPU's drivers requiring me to hop in Safe mode and clean install my drivers again so I will actually have something up on my monitor. Oddly enough this issue also seems to have some correlation to my being a subscriber as it happened immediately after that and not before. I went into my client_settings.ini and checked the resolution options (1920x1080) and they are edited now to be correct. I also have tried disabling v-sync and am gonna try a clean installation outside of Steam to see if it happens again but I doubt it.

Would appreciate any help seeing as I have legitimately spent money on the game and this issue kind of renders the game unplayable alongside just messing up my PC completely.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, to further compound the weirdness of this issue, it isn't consistent, just frequent.

@SteelMailbox Hey there! Sorry to hear you're running into this, definitely sounds like a bit of an odd issue especially if it's not something that consistently happens.

Could you give us a DxDiag so we can take a look and try and see if theres anything there that can explain what may be causing this

Sorry for the late reply, I thought the issue had fixed itself after clean reinstalls and some more file tweaking. I was able to get another 40 hours on the game for about a week and a half until yesterday when it seemed to return to annoy me.

@SteelMailbox  Appreciate you sending on the DxDiag I'll take a look through and see if we can nail down why this is happening
