Hey, I'm glad to say that I've found a fix for my problem. I'll run you guys trough in case anyone has a similar problem in the future. Simply open the launcher, hit options from there go to launcher options and under compatibility tick the box that says "Use an old system dialog for the folder selection" and that was about it thanks for helping me out.

If you have a USB headset, unplug it or unistall its drivers and see if it solves your problem. Report here.

I have tried pretty much all of them so far, no dice. I'd also like to point out I'm not getting this sort of problem with any other game, not sure if that helps narrow down the problems
