Forza Horizon 4 PC- Instant Crash after Introduction - i7 7700k, 980ti, 32gb 3200mhz. Windows 10 Pro

Hello,

I bought FH4 a few hours ago after seeing just one too many gameplay videos on YouTube to finally make me want to make the purchase. I downloaded and installed the game just fine, loaded it up and it executed smoothly just like FH3. I made my character and played the introduction driving the mclaren and showcasing the ever changing seasons and thought it was a very good looking game. As soon as I chose my custom license plate and Dodge Charger, I exited the garage waited for it to load and as soon as I was ready to start driving it instantly crashed and closed. No error code or anything. It does this at the same part every single time. I cannot progress let alone play. In my Microsoft Account order history the option to refund is not even there so I am forced to find an alternative to making this work.

I have provided a video of my problem. It is a rather frustrating situation so don’t expect a very cheery attitude in the demonstration of my issue: - YouTube

Any ideas on what I could do?
