Just bought DW2 on steam. Won't launch unless I switch to legacy old version.

Anyone have a fix for this:

I have windows 11, dual xeon 2699 v4, 256gb ram, 3080 10gb.

The game loads if I go to the legacy version but that sucks. How can I play the new one? It's like the loading process starts and then just stops without explanation. I validated the files, reinstalled video drivers. Please help!
