NieR Automata white screen unresponsive FIX

[Slouch]

Greetings.
This is met to be an FYI for those who had the same problem. I already got mine fixed.
 

I played NieR for roughly 13 hours across the first week I had the game. All of sudden, I couldn't open the game without it crashing to a white screen, maxing out my cpu 100%. I read around, couldn't find a complete fix. 

Here is how I fixed my game:
>Uninstall Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (both x64 and x86)
>Open Command Prompt in administrator mode. 

>Enter, "bcdedit -set DEBUG OFF" (no quotations) 

>Turn off your computer
>After you turn your computer on, reinstall Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (both x64 and x86)

Game should work now. Press Alt + Enter to fullscreen


This is the only thing that worked for me. I tried to update/roll back my gpu drivers. As well clean installation of the game.You may give those a shot. It didn't help in my case. 


                                                    Hope this helps!

Good link. Thank you. I've never used FAR so not sure why I had this problem. The page doesn't mention white screen/unresponsive problem either. Fix looks similar tho.
