Game Keeps Crashing, How Do I Fix?

Hey everyone, as the title of this post suggests, my client has been consistently crashing since yesterday evening whenever I'm about to load into a match. Specifically, the pre-game timer always makes it to the 6-5 second mark, and at exactly that point the game crashes. The full crash report that I keep getting reads as follows:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000010

At this point, I've verified the game files in Steam, uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it on a second drive, updated my graphics driver, reset my 3D settings to default in the NVIDIA control panel, and am currently at a loss as to what I'm missing. I'd expected that the problem would be resolved after a clean reinstall, but that appears to not be the case, so I'm hoping that someone here knows what I should be doing instead.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Check if you have a challenge that give you 4 random perks active. Last I know of, any of those challenges will cause your game to crash around the 5-6s mark into a match. If you do have a challenge like that active, just switch to a different challenge and it'll hopefully stop crashing.
