#legit everything was fine and dandy yesterday before maint????????

[verysmallcyborg]

this is a very long shot, but ever since updating my game last night, i can't log in through either the normal launcher or quicklaunch??? it seems to take forever to load the squenix logo, and then freezes and crashes before the login screen loads all the way?? i don't even get any proper error message or anything

i've restarted my computer twice, i've even repaired files (despite it saying that nothing was corrupted), firewall/antivirus is not affecting it at all, everything is up to date, and it's not reshade because that got uninstalled w/ repairing, i've ran it off admin and on admin too

i don't know what to do. this really fucking sucks and i've tried so many things. has anyone else had this issue after the patch.........
