CTD at prewarming shaders
When the prewarming shaders bar gets to around 97% (Same number everytime) I get a white box appear with a red V and another progress bar, I can never see what it is at it goes away as soon as it arrives. Straight after the game crashes to desktop and thats as far as I can get into the game.
I've tried updating my drivers, windows, verify files, adding more to the shader cache, everything that has been suggested by the devs in %appdata% etc and I just cannot start the game.
Any idea what's going on? I know its a stab in the dark, my laptop is a Lenovo Legion 7, and any help is appreciated.

Will not load into the game. Shaders will download and when it hits 99% the bat logo on the bottom will blink quickly, the mouse icon will change and audio will run in the background. System has ran multiple other games at higher levels than V Rising today.
Issue was noticed on 6/3. Last time game was played was on 5/24 before update on 5/25.
Trouble shooting tried:
-Restarted PC
-Verified game files on steam
-Updated Drivers
-Used console enabled workaround
-Uninstalled and reinstalled
-Cleared shader cache
