Unable to launch game after Season 3 Update

After updating the game to Season 3 the game refuses to launch and will completely brick my computer, requiring a hard reset through the power button.

The game will boot up, show the pre-start up "checking for updates" screen, boot in windowed mode, go full screen, and then completely brick my computer. My entire system will freeze, nothing on my second monitor will respond to anything I do, and even commands like ctrl+alt+del to open task manager will not work. Occasionally I will be able to hear the splash screen sound effects, but that's it. Yesterdays attempt after reinstalling the game resulted in the same thing, although this time it even turned my monitor from a black screen to a "no signal" screen before returning back to the black screen.

I have tried:

• Verifying game files and reinstalling the game
• Updating GPU drivers and reinstalling GPU drivers
• Updating Windows and reinstalling Windows
• Running in Administrator Mode

The game worked perfectly fine before the Season 3 update, and every other game on my system also works completely fine.
