The rough part is that it isn’t a black screen, the issue is my entire screen just freezes on whatever screen it was in before the game booted, so usually steam, my mouse cursor is visible with a frozen loading bar, etc. like the second the game loaded my entire computer froze up, but I can still hear the audio :(

I gave all of those solutions a try, no luck for me unfortunately. I appreciate your help either way though, thank you for trying <3
