Looking into this it appears the crash is related to a DirectX12 issue our developers are actively looking into resolving via a future patch or hotfix.
Its coming soon, but it doesn't seem a good idea to keep using DX12 right now. IsBoxer can't help us with a bug in the game.
That's a pretty specific crash for DX12 related to only those with AMD GPUs that aren't using updated drivers, and are still running an older version of Windows 10. Not only that, but, from their report, they weren't even able to start the game client, so... if you're experiencing such an extreme issue, then it's apparent right from the get-go that you have something to fix. Otherwise, if you were using DX12 before patch 8.1.5, and can still use it now, then I would expect that you're fine to continue using it.
