Stuck on Player Montage then Background Screen With No Menu Items

My system: Xbox Series X

Problem: When starting FC26 no normal graphics load. I get some sounds like "EA its in the game." The the player montage video starts with background soundtrack running. If I press some buttons the montage goes away and the main menu background image comes up with no menu items showing. 

Things I've tried that have not solved the problem:

  • Hard reboot. Unplug from power for several minutes.
  • Completely uninstall game and re-install. Partial uninstall (local data only, game only) and re-install.
  • Change internet service using a mobile hotspot
  • Remove xbox profile and add back again
  • Reset MAC address, clear persistent blu-ray storage
  • Tried manual DNS address and ports
  • Reset entire xbox console
  • Log into EA Sports ultimate team web app and make small change in team then start game on xbox (btw, all my squads, player cards, etc. intact on web app)
  • Unlink then re-link xbox profile from EA Sports Customer Portal
  • Confirmed I have no account bans or flags on EA Sports Account
  • Tried the Youtube memory flush trick - switching directly from youtube app to game

Even AI has run out of things for me to try - any help much appreciated.

    Hey Kapenap,

    The next time you try to launch the game, please delete the personal settings file instead of loading it up, before you continue to the main menu. 

    You can delete this file, and other potentially corrupt files to fix audio or visual issues like glitching, flickering, or loss of sound, but keep in mind that you’ll lose Skill Game progress and your custom controller layout.

    Let me know how it goes.
