CTD now stuck in validation loop

Platform: PC

Description: At/near 1443 x -3436 after fighting off three packs of hunters west of ruins in tree line, we engaged a phoenix tank. I fired an RPG round and the instant the round hit I got a CTD and the game sent a crash report.

Got back into the game…could not loot any items. The loot menu comes up and instantly flashes away. Does this for downed robots as well as backpacks another player drops. So went to validate game files via Steam. Two files updated. Now it is stuck in an endless update loop (disc usage).

Steps To Reproduce: I cannot reproduce this as I cannot get into the game.

Images / Videos: Sorry, didn’t have time

Host or Client: Joined someone’s session (wife)

Players in your game: 1 other player in the same house.

Specifications: PC Windows10 Pro/64
i5 7600K on MSI board
32GB of memory
MSI RTX2080
SSD main drive and 4TB RAID0 SSD array data/storage.

I got stuck in a validation loop too, a few days ago. I solved it by uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
