So I've gone ahead and not only cleared out the NRaas mods I had (thanks for that by the way, completely forgot they might be an issue) but also went through the whole process you described earlier. Unfortunately, still no dice. Now the game launches and crashes as usual without the launcher lingering in the taskbar tray. I'm including my most recent exception reports here plus that window screenshot you requested. Thanks for your assistance with this by the way.
It looks like it cut off one of the exception files in my reply so I'm enclosing it here.
