the fix
somehow dlss/streamline, even when turned off, caused a hard crash for multiple unreal engine games for me, including lost records: bloom & rage. straight to the desktop without a crash report showing up.

  • go to the game directory (right click the game in the steam library -> browse local files)
  • navigate to `\Engine\Plugins\NvidiaDLSS\Plugins\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64`
  • rename `sl.pcl.dll` to `sl.pcl.dll_backup`
  • play the game

finally.
