I KEEP HAVING THIS WEIRD ERROR, AND I'M GOING NUT!

in Windows and General: PC, Network, and Other Technical Issues
It says "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly" and the LOG file says:

180212 06:08:03 46 [1]: ERROR: Failed to launch GameClient.exe: client quit unexpectedly

Yet occasionally I CAN open the game normally, but most of the times it would just do nothing after I click Engage and tell me "Unable to start game client: client quit unexpectedly". I tried VPN, no luck. I verified the game files for like a hundred times. Nothing. I even deleted the game completely and downloaded it again. Nothing. Finally I tried to copy the game from a friend who can run the game absolutely normally. Still nothing.

It didn't happen until recently, or more specifically, last week. What's going on? How the h-word can I get this thing right?

P.S. I took a screenshot of it, see if anyone has ever encountered this f-word-ing situation.

    Yeah, I just started having them recently, checking to see if I need to update my drivers, I'd suggest you do the same.

    If the crash was due to something in Windows and not the game itself, a lot of times the game files/logs will not tell you why it crashed. If the Windows system decides to shut down the game client it does not report to the game client, thus the game has no idea why it shut down, it just knows it shut own. Try checking the Windows Event Viewer right after the crash, there is a good chance that will at least point you in the right direction.
    LTS and loving it.

    Manually run gameclient.exe in the x86 folder and see what kind of error(s) it gives you.
