I will gladly take suggestions on what I can do to fix the problem.
I have no anti-virus or firewall or anti-malware. I've tried running the trainer as admin. I've tried running the game as admin. Running the trainer and game as admin. Running the trainer regularly and game as admin. I've verified file integrity. I've even redownloaded the game without success.
I'm running BuildID 475562. Properties - Local Files tab

Can you attempt to run the trainer while disconnected from the internet? You can download an offline key from the troubleshooting page.
Restarted steam in offline mode. Made an offline trainer key and placed it in my trainer's folder. Unplugged my WiFi adapter. Started trainer. Started Game. Pressed F1 at main menu. Created an entirely new character. Skipped first video. Crash.
Star over. Trainer -> Game -> F1 ->Load up old character. Crash after just 4-5 seconds of the loading finish.
