V1.65W/XCE 0.35.1 (Steam/GOG) Xenonauts.exe stopped working.

Hi,

When I press "PLAY XENONAUTS" in the launcher, the launcher closes and a second later a Windows error message pops up telling me that Xenonauts.exe has stopped working. I technically want to play the Community Edition, but I can't even get the base game to work. Here are some the things I have tried:

STEAM

• It was a clean install to begin with, but I did uninstall it, made sure no files remain in the install directory and reinstalled the game and it still crashes.
• I verified the game cache without any files needed to be downloaded. The game still crashes.
• I turned on Windows 7 compatibility mode and run as administrator, again no success.
• I disabled my antivirus, still crashes.
• Disabled the Steam overlay, no success.
• I can change the resolution in the launcher to 1680x1050, check the window box and then get it to launch. I can then exist, put the game back to 1920x1080 keeping the window box checked and get it launch. It doesn't however launch in a window when I do this. I will have to do this every time just to get the base game to load. In the Community Edition it still crashes.
• I have tried the compatibility branch on Steam and that launches fine every time, but I don't really want to play that.

GOG

• The base game from GOG works right of the start.
• Once I install the Community Edition over it as the instructions say, I get the same issue as I have on Steam.

The GOG and Steam version were not installed at the same time, meaning that when I installed the GOG version I uninstalled the Steam version first and vice versa.

I have the game on both GOG and Steam. I played it on GOG like 5 years ago quite a lot and I wanted to play it again. I first tried playing it again last year and trying to get the Community Edition to work without success. I recently got it on Steam as well because it might have been more reliable to get the Community Edition to work. I can't even get the base game to work at all on Steam.
My forum post from last year:

My system specs are:

• AMD FX-8370
• Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 super
• 16GB RAM
• Windows 10 64-bit

Does anyone have any idea on how to get the Community Edition to run?
