Same issue.

 

Also, taking screenshot didn't work.

Vamdenburg, next time try...

<ctrl-"print screen"> in the black/white window
<alt-tab> out of app.
<start-run-mspaint.exe> (start paint)
<ctrl-v> (edit-paste)
<ctrl-s> (save)
upload to screencast.com, etc.

however, I like to close the app. to get a correct debug.err at the same time, rather than alt-tab, but for a simple screen capture alt-tab is quicker...

I'm see the same issue, but it didn't used to do this on the earlier beta versions.  In my case it also crashes the entire game, but not the computer. I used default graphics and lowest settings with all options turned off, to no avail.
