I started my game and it crashed after a short time in the main menu without any error message. Within the short time the game was in the main menu i can use all the buttons and can change setting. The game closes by itself after 5-10 seconds, differs every time.
Nothing can be found in the log about the closing of the game.
The bug can be fixed by turning off the discord overlay.

Thanks for the report.
Discord will probably fix their crash soon, if not, I suggest you to report the issue to them.

Is there no way to display an error message giving a hint of the issue, or is the line in the log detecting the overlay the extent of the clues to the cause?

Helping resolve this issue felt like pure luck--but of course it was dependent on that message in the log...
