EDIT - FINAL UPDATE:
Fixed. I simply deleted the "DestinyPC" Folder in "appdata>roaming>bungie" to completely reset the game cache and it now works. So something was clearly conflicting in the config and causing my CPU to go haywire.
Anyone else experiencing immediate crashing or freezing, try deleting that entire folder but [b]BE WARNED[/b] all your settings will be reset as it rebuilds the cache and perf files.

ISSUE: Not sure how or why but today Destiny 2 would not let me reach the character select screen. It reaches past the "Animated Class Icons" splash screen, goes to to transition to the character select screen, freezes and hangs.
Reinstalled the game, moved the game to another drive, DDU'd GPU drivers, used old and new GPU drivers.
Managed to pull all game settings to the lowest possible through GeForce Experience and even tried 1280x720 windowed, to no avail.
REPRO STEPS:
1) Open Game
2) Wait
3) Application Hangs
ACTUAL RESULT: Crashes to Desktop.
EXPECTED RESULT: The game to not crash or hang.

UPDATE #2: Full reinstall on a different drive still retains the problem of Application Hang and Freezing. I believe this is related to my PC client crashing when attempting to pull my account data. Tested on my Xbox and everything loads fine and allows me to play the game, the issue only persists on the PC client. If I were to disable cross save and make Steam my primary, would that cause any issues or should I best wait for this to be escalated? I do wish to play the game but I also don't want to do anything related to my account that may make things worse.
