DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

You say 'crash on launch' yet that log gets well past the launch stage. Can you take us through exactly how far you get?

Also Please try the new 1.0.1 beta patch.

Here are the details of how to opt into that beta:

yes crash on launch as the SS showed the "oops" thing, rebooting the PC temporally fixes the issue till the game decides it wants to "oops" again. so yea that log is from right now which is after i rebooted solved the issue for the time being and played for a few hours today.

this crash happens as it does to many others:
click battletech
click play
get the "oops"
reboot
play
rinse and repeat at completely random intervals

In that case you have a problem in the new April nVidia driver released recently. We are also seeing this in other Unity games such as Cities:Skylines.

A reboot will fix it temporarily, as you may have found. You could try a clean reinstall of nVidia:

- uninstall the driver
- reboot
- install the latest by fresh download from here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
- reboot again

If that does not help you might consider doing that clean driver reinstall again, except installing the previous driver version from March:
