Looks like a problem with older architecture. I can confirm since I'm running AMD Phenom II X6 and shit just crashes on startup.
If you have sli and its enabled, try disabling it.
Found an extremely lush planet with a lot of water, saw a little base under the water that I went in and it was full of green shit. Also almost drowned exploring it, lol.
Wonder if it's a bug though because all of the discovery waypoints reference either a rainforest or the woods and it's all underwater, lol
2 Things:
first, for most that are having the ctd on startup, it is most likely your video card not supporting opengl 4.5 which kinda sucks for anyone with a little older card.
