Game hangs on Game launched and ready 3 years ago

I have an issue where save files (only lategame ones?) do not load, it simply hangs at about 3gb of memory use during loading on the 'Game launched and ready' stage. I've been trying pretty much everything to fix this myself but nothing has worked. I have no special characters in either directory for steam or documents and I'm not using any mods, only official dlc. I've had no luck getting an answer (even if it's to go pound sand we aren't interested in fixing it) in either discord or steam channels.

I am running windows 7 home premium on
CPU Intel Xeon E3-1231
GPU AMD RX 480
HDD WD Black 5TB
SSD 970 EVO NVMe® M.2 SSD 500GB
RAM Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 2400 C11 2x8GB (24 installed 16 usable)
MBD Asus Z97-A-USB31

here is a link to the latest diagnostic and .sav with the problem
