So yeah, this is my first time. The game is new, I never played it before. Meaning I don't have mods, I don't even have previous installation folders or setting folders. The game's 2.0 + phantom liberty dlc.

My Nvidia Drivers are up to date, even did a clean install and all that jazz.

I start CP2077, the game laggs horribly the first few seconds, then runs smoothly.
I go into new game, select hard, select streetkid, then the game freezes.
Nothing works except TaskManager.
Next start, the game keeps crashing upon launch - flatlined.

I have 0 clue how to fix this as every darn thread mentioning similar issues is talking about mods being the issue.
