Unable to launch the game since yesterday (July 23th) (Client Crash at launch)

Since yesterday, I have this pop-up window appear after about 5-10 seconds of black screen when i try to launch PoE1, whether from Steam or directly from the .exe

Clicking "OK" closes the window and the game.
I already tried repairing the game, uninstalling/reinstalling, other solution i found on the forum and reddit related to the same error message mentioning unplugging/replugging the second monitor (it was mostly for laptop users, but i tried anyway, didn't work), and so far nothing worked.

My specs are :
- OS : Windows 10 Pro
- CPU : Intel Core i5-8600K 3.60 GHz
- RAM : 16 Go
- GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

All my drivers are up to date, and i made sure me PC uses the graphic card to operate the game and not the CPU (classic Windows shenanigans).
I am out of ideas how to proceed further now.

Update : Bug fixed

I had to totally uninstall my GPU drivers and reinstall them (the exact same). Luckily it worked.
