Steam Edition Crashes Immediately

I've had this issue with the Steam edition since Season 1 dropped. My game loads up the initial loading screen with the spinning wheel, and crashes immediately. Event log shows

I've been working with support on this, attempted all this under guidance from support with no luck:

• https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/113686/game-crash-at-rare-screen-at-launch-help
• Changing NAT type to Open
• Opening official Xbox Live ports
• Turning off IPv6 in router settings
• Turning off Teredo in router settings
• Sent memory dumps to the team
  Today support told me
  Unfortunately, we've reached a point where we've exhausted all troubleshooting available.
  Searching our articles and forums only provided explanations related to uninstalling antivirus software entirely (as opposed to bypassing) or uninstalling various pieces of audio software to resolve the issue. We can only advise to contact support.microsoft.com for more information.
  So I appeal to the community, any ideas? Note this is only the Steam edition I also have the MS Store edition and it works great.
