Topic: No start new game option

So I just got this game for first time on recommendation and am antsy to get into it. When I start up the game and it brings me to the title screen everything works fine. I can open Options/credits/tutorials and they all seem bring me to the intended place. However when i click new game it brings me to a screen where I can click either of the two origin options but that’s it. Like shouldn’t there be a difficulty setting? a start button? etc. Its mostly a blank page with nowhere to go and nothing to do other than reread the origin story options 6 times. I have restarted the computer multiple times and reinstalled the game multiple times. Btw this is from Windows 10.
