Game started to crash after recent update

[Dnx]

Game started to crash randomly after recent update, maybe it has nothing to do with it but I've never seen game crashes like this ever before.
Here is what I dug up from windows error logs, maybe you guys can figure something out of it.

We didn't change anything in this area in years. Have you tried any changes to settings? Do you crash if you just AFK in lobby for hours? What about in a party?

Are you sure you posted the correct crash info? That crash is during process startup. Are the other crashes the same? I doubt it because that crash is done only at process startup. Also, only this much info is needed for event viewer crash reports: https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/game-keeps-randomly-crashing.30961/post-236256

Your crash occurred when the DLL was trying to create some shaders. So try disabling those in the launcher's options. But really, it's probably a better idea to go to the defaults that come with the game: Direct3D 8, no AA, no AF, all shaders disabled, and then test. Test some more, then try changing things back to your old settings until you find what causes the crash.

If your character has /shortcuts enabled, then CTRL+F, CTRL+T, CTRL+O, and CTRL+L can all recreate shaders. So if there is an issue with shader creation (like in the crash you posted), you would probably crash if you pressed those in the lobby or in a party.

Ty for quick response. I'm sure I posted the right one. There were more but they all look pretty much the same. I've changed D3D from 9 to 12, never used any shaders, disabled AA and AF also turned off shortcuts. So far so good.
