Game crashes at loading screen every time. Nvidia driver error message
I have yet to actually play this game despite hours of trying. I can start up the game fine. I can change the options on the main menu. But when I press play to go into the lobby menu, it will go to the loading screen with all the ships and crash. Sometimes the lobby screen will pop up for a second but it will be unresponsive and will always ultimately crash. Upon crashing an error message says that the nvidia driver has stopped responding but has recovered. MY whole display will go black for a second and when it comes back the game window is just blank white. Sometimes I can still hear the audio coming from the game but can't do anything.
This is what I've tried so far:
repair the game
reinstall origin
install latest nvidia drivers
rollback to several different nvidia drivers that I know are stable
changed nvidia power management to best performance
reinstall directx
change my gpu clock speed.
change the game video settings to the lowest possible settings
restarted my PC about a thousand times during this whole process
specs:
i5 2500k
8gb RAM
geforce 560ti
can give more details or a dxdiag if needed
