Bannerlord Beta 1.5.6 introduces a CTD on New Game that goes away if I downgrade to 1.5.5, no mods. Immediately after hitting New Game it attempts to load and then crashes to desktop, no warnings/messages.
I tried fresh re-install, updating all drivers, updating .NET framework items, purging config and saved data. This is with no mods running. No game error handling grabbed it, windows flagged it as:

I read that it was tied to ragdoll but I tried disabling that with no help. Finally I wondered if it was the patch itself, so I downgraded back to 1.5.5 and the new game window loaded. Having no messages made me think it was tied to my video card/drivers and I am unaware of the changes made from 1.5.5 to 1.5.6 that may impact that. I went and got the latest drivers and ran a fresh install on those as well. I am running a GeForce GTX 1070 (I know dated but well within mins) and I tried downgrading the quality, I typically play around medium/high. I actually have two of those 1070s installed, so i tried with and without SLI and still had the same issue. I am trying to upgrade but as many know GPUs are difficult to come by these days.
If anyone recognizes this and it's just something I overlooked let me know, otherwise something in the patch caused the issue.
