Crash to desktop on first startup

Hi,

I've installed TW3 yesterday (Steam version) and my game crash when I want to start the game: I can see the menu, select the difficulty and after choosing to not import nor simulate TW2 savefile it crash to desktop without any error message.
My setup: i5 2500k, Geforce GTX770 with last driver (installed through Geforce Experience), 8 Go RAM, settings on High (Nvidia hair off).

I've tried a lot of things:
resinstall TW3 from scratch, verify cache, uninstall Nvidia driver with Driver Cleaner, install previous driver, launch TW3 exe in admin mode, set graphic settings to minimum, fullscreen/windowed/borderless window, disable Vsync, disable Geforce Experience, ... Nothing work, it still crash and generate a log file in the exe folder with a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.

What can I do now ? Wait for a patch ?

Not the same, as my game is Steam version not Galaxy one, and it crashes when I launch the game from menu: I can view the menu and change options, controls, etc...
