Crash shortly after launch

Was playing the game before going to work today no issues for around 2 hours and haven't had any issues for this entire league so far. Came back from work and now the game is crashing after 10-20 seconds of the game being on. Doesn't matter if im at the login in screen or in hideout/any other area in the game.

Log gives me this:
2025/11/24 21:29:44 185375 13cb2f92 [WARN Client 13648] Failed to create effect graph node (ID: 1428025895). Node type does not exist
2025/11/24 21:29:44 185375 5c7c661 [WARN Client 13648] Failed to create effect graph node "VertexFlipBookOffset" in graph "Metadata/Effects/Graphs/General/FlipbookOld.fxgraph"

Have tried changing renderer:
Vulkan crashes instantly, DX11 Works but horrendous lag and issues with rendering textures and DX12 is this crash always.

Cache has been reset. checked for missing files none found. Updated all my drivers to latest.

Haven't tested redownloading no time to test today and im guessing that it aint the issue seeing as I played fine all morning.

Just wanted to check if others have the same issue and if anybody has a fix but for now I guess a break is in order.

Same issue here. It only started happening today. Yesterday I was still mapping comfortably with no changes.

Never tried Vulkan, DX11 runs the game without crashing but has poorer performance. Installing/Reinstalling graphics drivers did nothing, Game files verified and steam told me everything was OK.

Edit: I read the later replies and I also tried disabling Discord Legacy Overlay. I am able to play smoothly now, but I can't prove it was because of the overlay. I'll just keep overlay disabled for now.

Same exact issues and same log notes. Seemed to happen overnight because I was also playing with no issues yesterday.

Just like OP, Vulkan just crashes to desktop, dx12 freezes and dx11 works semi but eventually also breaks.
