Poe 2 crashes instantly on launch

When I boot up Poe 2 a black screen briefly appears then closes, I looked at the event log and saw this error

I have tried verifying files, changing the render to vulkan, directx11 and directx12 and none of that changed anything. What do I do?

Same here. If u fix it please let me know
I am in the same situation as well after trying everything I could find. It started out as "Exception Get adapterinfo" error. Now it just does the black screen.
Yea I still have not figured out how to fix this

I would suggest completely uninstalling the game on Steam. Go into your library directory and make sure there are no leftover files/folders for POE2. Then reinstall the game fresh and try again. The error your having is specifically linked to the executable. Try the full reinstall and report back, thanks!

I reverted my windows 11 back to windows 10 and now the game launches fine
