How to fix my game as I'm stuck on loading screen after hitting continue

[Techpriest]

So i bought sunbreak and when I tried to load the game I got to the main menu and hit continue, selected my character and now have been stuck at the loading screen for a good bit.

Is there something wrong with my game or something I should do? As since I had mods previously I erased all files for the game and then verified everything back.

Well, that second part of what you wrote makes no sense. Try again.

ah sorry was quickly typing everything out ok let's see if this makes more sense.

So I had a few mods previously before sunbreak released. Now i've had issues in the past where old mods conflict with updates or expansions but sometimes things worked fine still. So I tried launching the game and made it to a splash screen that said compiling shaders then the game crashed.

So I decided it would be best to get rid of the mods but since I couldn't remember what files were mods and honestly was feeling lazy. I opened the local files for the game and selected everything there and hit delete. Then I went back to steam and told it to verify files once it basically redownloaded and installed everything I was able to make it to the main menu. There I clicked Continue and the game allowed me to select my old character. Once I did however I got stuck in the loading screen for over 10 minutes before I closed the game using CAD. I have tried this 3 times now and have yet to make it past that screen.

If you did as you describe, then it is more likely a shaders or Media Player issue.

Otherwise I would suspect that there are still files which do not belong there. Something like "Fluffy readding stuff".

At section 1, no. 3 you have also a guide how to deal with mods issues if you want to give it another try before going for the rest. Good luck!

Post Scriptum
If you used mods which influenced your save game, you would need them afterwards again. Otherwise your save game might become unusable.
