Game Crashes At Launch - Windowed Screen Pops Up and Disappears

I guess the crashes being reported here are due to the patch that was released just recently. Unfortunately, I can't play the game. The game keeps crashing at launch. When I try to play the game through Steam, the Path of Exile window will initiate but will have nothing but a black screen. After a few seconds, it will simply disappear. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the game and I get the same results. I also repaired my DirecX, C++ Redistributables, and .Net Framework install and nada. I checked the reliability report on my Windows 11 machine and found the below:

Extra information about the problem
Bucket ID: 840c133ff33fe92e4675fded1a78b02c (1618478835902754860)

Also got a pop up titled PathOfExileStream.exe - Application Error

The instruction at 0x0000002C491A29630 referenced memory at 0x0000002C491A29630. The memory could not be written.

Now, before anyone starts saying there is a problem with my RAM, I've got news for you. The memory on my machine is fine. I ran diagnostics and found no issues. All other applications and games are running fine.

If anyone has a clue as to why the game is crashing, and/or know if the Dev team is working on a patch to fix this last patch, an update would be appreciated.

I'm going through withdrawals!!! Please, please fix this dang game!!!
