Stuck at 26% Shader Compilation after latest update (RX 6600 XT)

Hi everyone,
Is anyone else experiencing an issue where the game gets stuck completely at 26% during shader compilation after the recent update?
My System Specs & Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
Issue: Shader compilation deadlocks/freezes precisely at 26% upon launching the game.
Troubleshooting I've already tried:
Performed a clean GPU driver reinstall using DDU.
Cleared DirectX cache and AMD shader cache (%localappdata%\AMD).
Cleared Steam download cache and verified game files integrity.
Deleted the game's settings folder in Documents.
Adjusted CPU core affinity and RAM settings.
None of these fixed the issue—it still freezes at 26% every single time.
Is there any known workaround for this, or are we just waiting for EA/DICE to deploy a hotfix? Let me know if you're facing the same problem!

Hey there,
Sorry to hear you're running into this.
It looks like you've already gone through most of the common troubleshooting steps.
Since the issue started after the latest update, it would be helpful to know if anyone else with a similar AMD GPU is seeing the same behavior.
One additional thing you could try is rolling back to a previous AMD driver version if you're currently on the latest release. In some cases, newly released drivers can introduce compatibility issues with recent game updates, so testing an earlier driver may help determine whether the issue is driver-related.
Thanks for the detailed report—I'll make sure your feedback is passed along for visibility.
