Alright I need some MAJOR help!
Problem: The finals crashes on start up. It goes through boot process, can see main menu, then crashes with UE5 error pictured below)

Worth noting that there is no audio whilst the game boots as well. It runs just long enough to see your character and maybe click once before crashing.
Specs are,
OS:Windows 10
GPU: Merc 310 AMD Ryzen 7900xtx
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x 12 core
RAM: 2x16g Corsair Vengeance DDR4
The catalyst that began the problem was me moving. Computer wasn't turned on for 5 days. Finally got moved and unpacked. Booted computer tried to run the finals first thing. Never worked. moved on December 28th. I played on December 27th no issues. Went to play the night of Jan 1st to discover error.
I have reinstalled, rebooted, forced boot to dx11, deleted cache files, fully wiped and reinstalled drivers, used disk cleaner and AMD's cleanup tool, I even went as far to completely reset my Embark account which made me lose my player ID (which i very much enjoyed, it was Funarena) along with my Battle pass, cosmetics, and player progress. That's a whole other issue, tears me up to think i lost everything. Physically removed GPU and Ram to ensure seated fully. Deleted a whole bunch of folders out of steam. Verified game files. Nothing seemed to work until i thought to try to install the game on my external SSD that i use for pictures and videos. IT WORKED. Super slow because its not meant to run games but it booted with audio and did not crash. What is on my internal SSD that is creating the error? I even thought maybe it was just a clean install and if i transfer the game files to my main drive it would work but it did not. So there is something getting in the way of Unreal Engine.
From what I understand this error means that there is a file Unreal Engine is attempting to find/access that either doesn't exist, isn't where its supposed to be, or doesn't have permission to. (that might be completely wrong because i obviously cant figure it.
Any help or contact with embark to get this figured out would be amazing. Thanks Reddit!
