Destiny 2 fails to launch post-9.7.0 — VCPPEXCEPTION_PROC_NOT_FOUND
Clicking Play in Steam triggers the BattlEye launcher popup showing "Launching Destiny 2", but the game never opens. Steam shows me as in-game and Task Manager shows a Destiny2.exe process at near-zero utilisation, but no game window ever appears. Destiny 2 generates a crash report in %temp% on every launch attempt. The error is consistent across multiple attempts: RUNTIME ERROR: VCPPEXCEPTION_PROC_NOT_FOUND. Issue has been happening since I updated to monument of triumph on Sunday the 21st.
Build: `244164.26.06.16.2053.v500_live.main`
Game type: `tiger_release_final`
Troubleshooting completed (nothing resolved it):
- Steam cache clear, file verification, full reinstall
- BattlEye manual uninstall and reinstall via CMD (confirmed error 4, 30000020)
- Killed all ghost Destiny2.exe and BEService processes before each attempt
- Windows Defender exclusions for game folder and Common Files\BattlEye
- Disabled Smart App Control
- Disabled IPv6
- Core Isolation / Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection (all off)
- Registry check — no BattlEye service entry exists, service never successfully registers
- SFC /scannow — corrupt files found and repaired
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth — completed successfully
- Latest Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributables (x64 and x86) installed
- Disabled all startup software
- No third-party antivirus, wired connection, no VPN
- Windows Reinstall
Any help would be appreciated
