Summary: When I launch the game from steam, the launcher loads, and then just sits on the blue loading circle for an indefinite amount of time. If I pull up task manager, the cursor will change to the M&B cursor, but nothing is clickable still. The game won't launch from the .exe files either.
I have already followed the directions of a clean install found in these forums, I do not use mods (I used to but those were deleted during the first clean install) or cheats.
It didn't actually start being an issue until after I started playing after taking a couple month break.
My drivers are up to date. I've tried every workaround there is including making every .exe an admin ran file, deleting random files, verifying the game files after every time I've done something new, adjusting fire wall / anti virus settings. One workaround which has you delete the files from one drive, I did that, then when I tried launching the game, the "synchronizing with steam cloud" came up and stayed for 5 minutes or so, then the game launched, and still nothing.
It should be noted that sometimes, mostly randomly (from June 8th - 10th I was able to play without doing any tricks or restarting my computer), it does work. Usually it works after I've shutdown my computer for a little while (like a day or so), but not after a simple restart.
I'm not sure how to check my current version honestly, but I haven't opted in to any betas, and the steam library says the most recent update was May 18 v1.1.4.
Laptop I'm using is a Nitro 5 AN515-58
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
