Welcome to the forum, @SternenO! Have you already tried playing Thrive on OpenGL Mode, which can be enabled in the “Launcher Options” via the gear icon when starting the launcher? Also, sometimes updating the graphics card drivers helps, which can be found here - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/.

@AnthropocenianAge basically covered what I would have said. Unfortunately there just doesn’t seem to be that much info in the logs so I can also only recommend updating graphics drivers etc. to all latest versions and then trying again. And also OpenGL mode is good to get things working sometimes if they otherwise won’t.

If neither of those help then there is just some kind of incompatibility of Godot Engine with your computer / installed versions of software.
