Description

Game window appears but stays black, by that point I see in the log that the game is trying to close but is stuck there.

looking through the log I think problems start with this line:
107435.900:0029:002a:warn:debugstr:OutputDebugStringA "Info,System| NvAPI_Stereo_CreateHandleFromIUnknown error: "

(which is then followed by a bunch of raise_exception lines)

Start by reproducing Spintires with the supplied system information and log, then inspect the log around the NvAPI_Stereo_CreateHandleFromIUnknown warning and subsequent raise_exception lines. Done means the game window renders instead of remaining black and the game can close without hanging.
