After loading in, I am getting a black screen. I can change graphical settings to low and it becomes a more gray color. I have no other issues in game. In all cases, I can move my character and see my UI and other players names etc, however I cannot see anything in the game beyond the UI. Tried the following: 

Changing performance settings from Low up to Remastered

Changing FSD>TSR etc

Changing Full Screen to Windowed etc

Re-queing multiple times

Waiting 90+ seconds after loading
