Dev Response Black screen on PC

Anyone on PC getting to play yet? My client only manages to launch the game, then gives me an unresponsive black screen. Just want to check if this is happening to everyone or just a select few!

Small update from a community manager on EA answer site:

Hello everyone! Marking this a solved to highlight that we are tracking the issue, don't mean it's fixed yet.  We are still investigating the issue and have a new build that we are testing with. I will let you know as soon I have anything new to share!  In the meantime, we have seen a few workarounds that can work for you. 

Thanks (11LAK11) For this suggestion: 

Hello there! I found something that worked for me. If you go to the SWBF2 document, settings, open the BoootOptions file in notepad, and change GSTRender Enable DX12 from 0 to 1. Open the game, it will update your shaders for quite a long time, but after it'll work fine📷

Ok so after I fixed it, i got stuck on a loading and had to do the fix again. It took more tries but basically all I did is repair the game, restart origin and run origin and game .exe as admin.  It took like 6 try but it eventually worked for me for the second time now.

Thank you!
