I also cannot start playing.
Installed in Xbox App, start the game, sign-in, do a character creation, click start and I’m looking at an infinite loading screen. Black screen with the auto-save icon blinking.
Mouse is moving, I also see CPU load, and GPU load. But nothing happens.
Quit with ALT-F4, get a “Continue Game” option after restarting the game, but that also is loading forever.
New character creation does not help, same problem.
System specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 21H2, latest updates installed. (Build 19044.1387)
Hardware: Gefore GTX1080 with 496.76 drivers, Core i5-8600K, 16GB memory.
Repairing and resetting the Xbox App also does not make a difference. Xbox App up to date.
