Stuck on loading screen during story mode

[Low Expectations]

My game keeps loading whenever i want to play story mode. Tried almost all the fixes available on google, nothing worked.
1. Verified game files
2. chnaged graphics settings to dx12, vsync off
3. firewall off, windows defender off

Anyone of you have any other fixes, which might be working in 2025 ?
