Game crashing on startup with dx12 after 1.5.1 patch

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug LoginId: EpicAccountId: Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0xffffffffffffffff WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC WRC kernel32 ntdll
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The game wont start with dx12 version after 1.5.1 update, idk what causing this problem.
What happens when the bug occurs? If i leave empty the launch options game will crash every single time on startup, if I use -dx11 launch option the game works ''fine'', somehow dx11 is worse than dx12 for me.
What do you expect to see? no crash?

The game won't start with DirectX 12 after the 1.5.1 update. While it works with DirectX 11, there's a lot of stuttering. What is causing the problem with dx12?

PC restart, verifying game files, game reinstall, trying to start with administrator done, still not working

    I deleted the modded engine.ini and the game also started in DX12 mode again


    Thanks a lot!

    I messed with engine.ini a week ago, that was the problem. I used one of those script https://www.reddit.com/r/OptimizedGaming/comments/13s12vw/unreal_engine_45_universal_stutter_fix/ from this reddit thread.
    I removed the script and game started in dx12.

    Here is the engine location: C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Local\WRC\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

    maybe paste this to engine.ini
