Google Now app force closes/crashes immediately upon launch

I’m running rooted stock Android 4.4.2 on an AT&T Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900A). No problems with any other Gapps or apps in general. I have tried flashing older versions, but that didn’t help. The problem remains whether it is installed as a regular user app or a privileged app. I have also tried running a permissions fixer on it.

As soon as I tap the icon the app displays for a few seconds and closes. If I erase the cache and app data it will run once correctly, but the problem returns after the account settings and whatnot are reinstalled.

Any help would be appreciated
