I'm attempting to run MA3 v1.7.2.2 on a freshly built Windows 11 Pro machine, and I keep getting this in the terminal that refuses to boot up on MA3. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software only to see error pop-ups throughout the installation, and I already did a system refresh of the Windows, but it still brings this up. Any ideas on what might be going on?

have you made sure that the application is actually using your RTX 3060 and not the integrated Intel UHD graphics of your I7 ?

I did not! I went and added in the app_gma3 file into my settings and made sure the 3060 was running for the MA3. Now when I open the file, it gets stuck on this screen.
