Never ending loading screen!

[ZenMittal]

Stuck on loading screen!
After I open the game, few logos pass by, then a loading screen with a moving circle at bottom left screen keeps rotating, behind it is a golden map-like image that shines.

That's all that happens, game never loads. I tried to wait for more than 20 mins several times.

Tried
*reinstalling the game from scratch,
*allowing the game from firewall,
*disabled/enabled HDR pack,
*restarted the PC ofcourse,
*updated windows and graphics driver
*allowed the game from Controlled Folder Access

My PC is complete top notch with 3080ti 12 core CPU, and SSD drive.

Also, I was able to play this game just fine for the first time, I played 2-3 missions from the Normandy campaign. And after that this endless reloading problem started.

Please help. How can I start this game now?

-Try deleting the age of empires 4 folder in my documents. This may reset configurations and delete save files but your game should maybe start working again.
