I looked for a possible solution to my problem but couldn't find one. Upon loading the game I'm presented with a blank text box with my only option being to close it, I can then try to play the game by pressing a button, but the game never loads (I've left the game running like this for over an hour with no result).

The problem is consistent, I've attempted to repair the game multiple times through the launcher but the repair always either fails or seems to do nothing. I haven't reinstalled the game yet since I don't want to lose all of my progress, despite having not played it in at least a few weeks, if there's any way to avoid this it would be appreciated.

The attached video is an attempt to demonstrate the problem; the game loads as normal up until this point, the audio does work but isn't recorded - the narrator says "exit" whenever I hover the cursor over the exit button on the blank box.
