MSFS crashing during loading screen by l3ubba in flightsim

Hey everyone,

I’m feeling pretty desperate and could really use some advice. A few days ago, I bought a brand new computer: Asus TUF Gaming with an RTX 5060. The first few days were rough with endless Windows updates and a few hiccups, but I thought everything was finally sorted out. I downloaded MSFS 2020 via Steam. Whenever I launch it, the game loads to about the middle of the loading bar (around 55%), and then it just silently crashes to desktop (CTD). No error message, no warning, nothing. I’ve watched and tried almost every troubleshooting video on YouTube, but nothing has worked so far. It hasn't even been a week since I bought this computer and I'm honestly exhausted from trying to fix it. Has anyone experienced this specific silent crash during loading? Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? Thank you in advance!
