Shader download freezing at 25.44% (Steam copy)

I have tried clearing every cache, every shader cache, I've tried reinstalling my drivers and the game, numerous integrity verification yet nothing seems to help the game get passed 25.44% on my shader download. I have never had this issue or anything similar occur from when I played the game at launch to roughly last month. First time booting the game since ~June  and I got the issue for the first time. Dice pls fix help.
