Hi there DuckDraw, really sorry to hear you are having issues launching the game. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing? We would also recommend verifying the game files integrity. If you still don't have any luck with that please do provide your details in our bug report - https://forms.gle/JgMUYmpfsdS6i33k6 - so the developers can investigate and figure out why you might be having issues. Many thanks for your patience!

Verifying the game files was step one of trying to fix the problem. Uninstalling/reinstalling was step two. I also sent a bug report, but I'll go ahead and send a second one.

Same here, game was reinstalled, files integrity also done. Still freezing before the menu.

Edit: I waited for 15 minutes, the background sound started, a few minutes later menu appeared, now it looks normal.

Done, I am running WIndows 10 N wondering if others here are too. I have the media pack installed, but it's the only thing I can think of that's out of the ordinary for my configuration.

Yes, actually. I unplugged my foot pedals (that I use for leaning in Tarkov..) and that solved it. I guess the third party product was, for whatever reason, messing with it because now it launches fine.
I hope that helps you guys. Best of luck.
