Same, Didn't have issues like this with the previous versions. Super frustrating. I hate removing things from my Task Manager IMHO. Makes me super nervous that I'm gonna accidentally break something.
It's "audio" related (some describe it as "malware" on reddit, but it's reddit > grain of salt^^)
Nahimic - Audio that matters
Have you already try all of these steps ?

LeKill3rFou thanks for this... stopping the Nahimic service solved it. Though I wish I knew it earlier cause I already reinstalled the game in the meantime. I don´t envy those who might did it as well using for example 50 Mbit or slower downlink...
Anyway, I actually use Nahimic app for tuning sound quite a lot so this doesn´t please me at all but if it´s all that needs to be done before game launch, I guess I can live with it for some time.
Edit: it seems it affects the game during launch phase only - you can turn the service back on and launch Nahimic app again when you´re in game but I´ve been testing it for a little while only so it´s possible it might cause crashes like this.
And as LeKill3rFou mentioned, don´t uninstall anything - simply stopping the service does the trick.
My configuration, for troubleshooting purposes:
- Ryzen 2700X custom OC at 4,2 GHz
- 32 GB HyperX RAM, currently at 2933 MHz, for stability
- Asus ROG Radeon RX 5700 XT - basic setup with performace BIOS profile
- MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon... with Nahimic Audio

my problem with crashing wasn't always the games fault it was my ps4 pro over heating how many fans do you have on your system? I have 3 the one underneath on the back and behind it keeps the game playing for quite a while until it over heats I know it's bolth though redownloading my copy and the update now well see how it goes this weekend
Nice, but I'm sure an update to fix that should be release soon enough (it's annoying to disable something to play a game, above all when it was not a problem before).
thanks this was the issue. weird when some audio service stopping the game from working (which was otherwise fine)
Yep it's weird, some kind of incompatibility between them. I hope for a quick game update (I don't expect any update of Nahimic for that^^)

Built it mostly for future proofing. Just wasn't expecting the future to show up this quickly
Can you verify if you have something named NahimicService or NahimicAPI in your task manager ?
If yes disable it, the game should run fine after (make sure the Nahimic "thing" won't restart later).

So I read to make sure you dont have any mods installed as they all need to be updated for new patch
THAT FIXED the flat lining at launch
but now it simply doesnt Sync up and Launch at all
Read the fix for that is to completely uninstall and reinstall (so will try that next)
Ive no clue what Nahimic stuff is but not keen on removing files
CDPR will have to fix that portion of it
Hopefully full uninstall and reinstall will work

Nahimic
You don't remove anything, you just turn off this thing in the Task Manager (a kind audio manager if I understand right).
NahimicService or NahimicAPI
But if you don't have the faltline on boot, it's not Nahimic for sure. If you had a problem with Nahimic, the game should flatline as soon as you clic on "Play".
Just like people here say, the crash is most likely caused by audio software conflict.
Beside Nahimic, so far we've identified this issue also with audio drivers such as A-Volute or Sonic Studio. We're currently investigating.
Meanwhile, as a temporary solution, we recommend disabling said drivers before launching the game. You can also try following the steps we described in this article: https://support.cdprojektred.com/en/cyberpunk/pc/sp-technical/issue/1700/my-game-crashes-7

Today there was an update of 25 kb, but this did not solve the problem. The game still won't launch.
Have you already try to disable Nahimic or/and A-Volute or/and Sonic Studio in the Task Manager (or any kind of audio software) ?
Flatlines every time for me after the update now. Do not have any Nahimic services or A-Volute or Sonic Studio running. I uninstalled all audio devices and that didn't help. Ugh.
