"Shader uses incorrect vertex layout"

Same problem. No fixes have worked. Reinstalled completely -- still happens once every 20 mins or so. I have updated drivers, ran the PackCheck.exe utility, deleted all texture caches including DX12 and Vulkan (crashes happen in both).

Game unplayable at this point.

DX11 crashes the same shader:
