Game stuck in splash screen, accessing non-game files on my drive

If it really bothers you, I wrote about the process I used to find my particular issue in this longer thread. It’s kind of a long shot, and is not going to directly fix your issue. It may help find what is causing it and from there we can try to find a solution. Just leaving it here to link the two threads.

In my case, the game practically wouldn’t launch so I was pretty invested in getting to the bottom of this back then. Good luck and if you decided to try it, let us know what you found and I may be able to offer more help at that point.
