Hello,

I played AOTS for the first time yesterday and it worked great. I probably shutdown and relaunched it several times without issues. Today I tried to play it again  and it wouldn't start with either DX11 or DX12. I browsed to the steamapps location and tried launching the executables directly and they complained that I was missing the MSVCR110.dll. I repaired some sort of Visual Studio Redist and then the game launched successfully (from steam) but the game had this bright white bloom centered around the nexus and immediately began spreading out from the center and some artifacting on the bottom left corner. 

The game also appears to be launching in a debug mode with some green text in the bottom right.

My PC:

Windows 10

Nvidia GTX970 (installed the most recent drivers for it yesterday.)

Edit: Fixed. I performed a clean install of the Nvidia drivers.
