Crash on startup. Tried everything I can think of. Please help!

The game is crashing for me on the first loading screen (once in awhile it makes it to the seizure warning). I've really tried to research and try solutions, but nothing has worked.

I'm using a relatively new computer (built \~2 months ago). I loaded up TWWH when I first got it set up and it looked great, but I got caught up with other stuff for awhile (victoria 3) and now it won't start.

Specs

Windows 11

i7-13700k

RX 6900XT

game version 2.3

no mods

​

Things I've tried.

Disabling and uninstalling all mods (one time respec is the only one I ever used)

Uninstall/reinstall game including deleting warhammer 3 folder in steamapps, % CA/launcher folders in appdata (Done this like three times)

Updated GPU drivers and windows

launching as admin

disabling windows defender/firewall and launching

Deleting movie files in /data (currently back to a standard install after full uninstall/reinstall)

Launching directly from exe

​

Any ideas what's going on here or what else I might try? Thanks!

[edit] for anyone finding this on Google I eventually reinstalled windows and now the game works again. Probably not the answer anyone wants, but at least it’s an answer!
