Been a few months since I last played. I've updated everything, reinstalled the game after a complete uninstall... Multiple times. Run it as an administrator, in compatibility mode, pretty much everything I could think of or scrounge up online. I even tried running it through steam instead of the standalone client for a bit.
Either the game just straight up crashes without the window even popping up, or I get a permanently not responding black screen (oftentimes when I use the restore default settings option, although now that I've clean installed this appears to be happening regularly now.)
My hardware is not even remotely close to being underpowered for this, and the game worked on this same computer with the same hardware like 6 months ago. Windows 10.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed Ram: 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 (Max Q, ergo, laptop, model. It has 8 GB of G RAM)
Honestly pretty much at my wits end at this point, anyone have any ideas?
