This is a GPU-driver/overlay crash, not a game script crash.
Your stack trace dies inside nvwgf2umx.dll (NVIDIA’s DX11 user-mode driver) with several NVAPI_Thunk and NVENCODEAPI_Thunk frames. That pattern almost always points to the NVIDIA driver or a capture/overlay layer (NVENC/ShadowPlay, Steam Broadcast, OBS hooks, RTSS, ReShade, etc.) rather than Captain of Industry itself.

You can try things like:
Turn off GeForce Experience In-Game Overlay (ShadowPlay):
GeForce Experience → ⚙ Settings → In-game overlay OFF. Also disable “Instant Replay.”

Disable Steam Overlay & Broadcast for this game:
Steam → Library → Captain of Industry → ⚙ Properties → General → uncheck Enable the Steam

But as priority I would update drivers and OS.
