It is a random issues that happens sometimes, verify games files (integrity of files).

This might happen if you used nvcleanstall to install gpu drivers, and didn't check anticheat support. If you did that, I suggest u to remove driver with ddu, and install from nvidia's site. Or follow atlas docs and use nvcleanstall like that.

I installed nvidia drivers from the official GeForce Experience application

Verifying files fixed it once, now when it happens verifying files does not change anything
