After a few months away I return to play the new content. I can load the game to main menu and to the command bridge in which it animates/works for about 2-5 seconds and then freezes. Windows dialouge box then pops up to say it isnt responding. 

This is totally stopping me from playing the game!

So far I have

1) Reinstall GFX drivers and reset properties

2) Uninstalled Martyr and deleted profile directories from my docs

3) Run in admin mode

4) Turned off Gsync

5) Run at lowest graphics options

6) Tried numerous compatibility options

7) White listed in AV 

8) Turned off AV.

9) Prayed to the Omnisiah and purged many heretics in his name.

Anyone else encounter this or have another set of work arounds?
