i'll try reverting to an older video driver. it's past my bed time already anyway.
again, i really appreciate your help with troubleshooting.
let me know how you get on , i'll dig around as well when get more time
i tried two different older video drivers and still have no change when i try to launch the game. went back to current video drivers.
So i finally got the game to load after formatting all drives on my machine and reloading windows from scratch.
Unfortunately i'm having a new issue with the game that i can't figure out now. it launches perfectly fine but when i get into the menus, the character on screen is extremely squished. it looks as if the resolution is way off. what throws me off is the UI looks normal like its correct. its only the actual game graphics that are really stretched out.
I've checked all the settings i could think of. my resolution is correct in game and on windows. like i said, i just did a full reload of windows last night so all my drivers were done as well and are up to date. is there anything you know of that might cause this to happen this way?
I'll attach a screenshot of what i'm talking about with the stretched graphics.

worst case cru and a new inf with just native resolution of the monitor is selected https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU
Using CRU to change the resolutions there worked! finally after 2 weeks of troubleshooting for this game i can actually play it.
thanks for all your help and patience man i really appreciate it.
