You can circumvent most of these issues by adding the following text to the Launch Options.

Access this by opening the context menu in Steam -> Properties -> General

Then enter the following in the Launch Options field:

-force-d3d11

This will force the engine to fallback to DX11.

I will be looking into adding the ability to do this through settings, but currently this will hopefully address the issues on affected systems.
