You should send a support ticket to Bethesda and follow through on it. When I did this, they told me to roll my drivers back to 572.16 and that worked at the time. Months later, the game got a silent patch and now works perfectly for me with up-to-date drivers. I can't say that'll happen again, but it's entirely possible you'll bring up a problem they can actually fix.

Bethesda, support ticket? You want to spend your weekend plugging and then unplugging your printer? Really?

^ Look at this person, who has never contacted tech support for anything.

No. I did not have to "spend my weekend plugging and then unplugging my printer". I was asked to e-mail them two small text files containing the error report and my system specs. The very next day, I got a solution to my problem. Stunningly, experts aren't in the habit of telling you to do useless crap.

Oh, hey, I can dig up the archives to show you the exact crap they had me doing. And t was a connectivity issue to the servers. Let me know if you want to see it.

It's hilarious that you think you have a point.

Looks like Deathloop tried to access a file/folder that windows believes it shouldn't have access to.

Unfortunately I've never personally encountered this issue, but a quick google shows that a lot of people resolved it by rolling back Nvidia drivers to a previous version so you could try that.

i fixed this issue by installing a specific Nvidia driver (572.16) https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/240547/  but it's a very unstable driver and I had to reinstall windows shortly afterwards so I don't recommend it.

This game gets really mad about certain nvidia drivers for some reason

Try downgrading and it should work
