solutions mentioned;
disabled my internet then launched the game from the game folder using "EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher" then the game started and got past the black screen, then I reconnected my internet and pressed retry in the game until it connected to the servers
Check for BitLocker encryption or Storage Spaces on any drive.
Decrypt and remove them before reinstalling the game.
Keep Secure Boot on, but ensure all drives use GPT, not MBR.
reinstall Javelin anticheat
Download and reinstall the DirectX End-User Runtime
Download and reinstall/repair the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributables (install BOTH x64 and x86)
Finally I tried moving the install in steam to my secondary nvme internal drive and the game now launches. Good luck everyone!
