So as of last week, I had an issue with a game crashing. Nothing too crazy about that. But, what has happened is multiple games are now doing the same thing. After launching, the game instantly crashes to desktop. It has so far affected 3 games on my pc. Escape from Tarkov, Dead by Daylight, and Disco Elysium. I don't know what would cause this. Tarkov was working since last Tuesday if I remember correctly. Everything else runs fine on my pc. I have all my drivers up to date so i'm a bit lost. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
