Crash, black screen and 100% cpu usage

today every time I open the game, it crashes, the pc freezes at 100% cpu. This is the error that shows;
DX12: Observed an critical error while recovering from a previous critical error, can not continue

Switch to DX11 in the client before starting the game to see if that helps.
If you have any custom content installed then i recommend removing that as well.

You can also bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

pretty bizarre the number of people complaining about crashes after this major update, what did gaijin ruin this time
