Good Morning.
Need some assistance with a GC3 after replacing the graphics cards a few months ago (PSU killed my initial one). When attempting to launch GC3 with all of the latest mods, the game attempts to launch but doesn't fully load. It gets stuck on the opening cinematic, then freezes. When changing the pref.ini settings to SkipIntro=1, the game loads the start menu, however none of the buttons on the menu work (the mouse works and the key board works). Tired a couple of different settings in the pref.ini settings, but none of them work. My only assumption is that there is some conflict with the GPU, I upgraded from a 980 ti to a 2070 RTX. Has anyone else experienced issued with RTX graphics cards?
Below is the debug file and my computer specs:
Intel I-7 6850k on ASUS Maximus V Rampage
64 GB RAM
EVGA 2070 RTX and EVGA 1660 ti
Windows 10
Thank you in advance.
