PC player, since the latest update (Sept 3, 2025), when I start the application it does the first couple steps (initializing, verifying card database, requesting format data) but when it gets to/past Loading Initial Screen, the screen goes black except for the cursor. I have tried a few times now over a couple days and get the same result.

I am hesitant to uninstall/reinstall because I haven't been able to successfully complete a download for MTGA for years now without it stalling out so that I have to force close the application and try again (usually takes 3-4 attempts for updates).
