Client freezes after selecting the Charakter I want to play.

I tried to login into every Charakter I ever created to test it
But after selecting it just freezes and leaves me with Karui Shores on the bottom text.
The Gears stop but the music still plays - My Task Manager tells me the game does not respond immediately after selecting.
I checked the Gamefiles at Steam with 0 Errors
Started the Game with Admin
Reinstalled the Game
Made sure it has no Problems with my Firewall/Virus-Programm
Changed Graphicsetting to the least using and to the NVidia optimiced ones
reinstalled the newest graphicsoftware

and some informations about my PC if needed:
NVIDIA GeForce TRX 3070 Ti
NVIDIA Graphic Version: 560.70
12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600K
15.8 GB RAM


Hope there is a Solution and thx in advance.

Same thing happening with me too.
Mine does the same thing and then it crashes, even after verifying, reinstalling, and removing the cache and config files of the game. I found that the game logs always show these warnings:

Failed to create effect graph node (ID: 2439006741). Node type does not exist
Failed to create effect graph node "PlaneSignedDistance". Node type does not exist
Failed to create effect graph node "PlaneSignedDistance" in graph "Metadata/LEGACY/Graphs/20.12.2023/BounceScreenDepth.fxgraph"


Followed by this right before crashing:

Failed to decompress (corrupted data)

Getting this same thing. Sometimes I lock up before character select, and sometimes after, but happens every time I try and run the game.
