[SOLVED] SOMA - has worked, but now crashes on startup

[jgodfrey]

I have successfully played (quite a lot) of SOMA a few months ago ('ish) on a 64-bit Win7 machine with an AMD HD 7700 GPU. Since that time, the PC has been upgraded to Win 10, but still has the same GPU (with the latest AMD drivers - 15.30.1025).

Now, when I try to start SOMA (upgraded to 1.03), I get only a single dialog stating:

"LoadLibrary failed with error 998: Invalid access to memory location."

Some research seems to indicate this is likely graphics related, but my hpl.log doesn't contain much info. It's pasted in full below.

Any assistance is appreciated.
