Here's my log for the startup, I think my problem is that my shader wouldn't load but I don't know how to enable that. Help?
Try deleting the contents of the broken shader (so the shader file is completely blank) or delete the file itself if that doesn't work.
I doubt your crash related to shaders, can you please attach your DxDiag.txt? I also might guess what's wrong: do you have some audio device in your system? It's seems like old bug where game crash without audio device (FMOD bug). It's curious what for these shaders used?
