It' s working now for me after 2 weeks of frustration and trying everything other than a repair install of Windows. I'm on the most recent update of Windows 11Pro with a PC that is well above the recommended specs. Like others have noted the game loaded and played fine on my laptop with lower specs. It would just take forever or would never load. It's installed through Steam. Today the problem disappeared. I was waiting in the other room to see if the game would load and less than 2 minutes later the load screen was up and the game played fine. I have changed nothing in my settings it just started to work. I suspect it may be a server problem on Steam or Microsoft's end.

I have Avowed installed on my PC and my laptop. Laptop is Ryzen CPU and RTX 4070 running Windows 11 Pro, most recent patch. The game loads and runs fine. On my PC, same OS, which is an Intel CPU (I9 12900K) with an RTX 4070SC. The game randomly will not load - about 90% of the time, I mean I wait for 30 minutes and nothing happens Other times, but rarely, it loads in about 3 minutes. No problems with compiling shaders or with game crashes. The game shows as running in Steam and in task manager but it is not actually loading or running and is not showing as using CPU in Task Manager It appears to be waiting for a process that is stuck. Tried verify files, loading with -dx11 and running Steam as admin. Tried turning off antivirus and firewall. Nothing helps. All my other Steam games load and run fine.
