OVERCOOKED! 2 STEAM STUCK ON LOADING CODE
If you check the Event Viewer, does that give an error code or 'Faulting Module' file name that might help identify the problem? It probably won't with a freeze like this, but it couldn't hurt to check.


With the GOG version, in the (optional) Galaxy client, select Divinity: Original Sin 2 in the left column, then click on the More button, and in the Manage menu select 'Verify / Repair'. In the Steam library, right click on the game and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache.' button.
OVERCOOKED! 2 STEAM STUCK ON LOADING INSTALL
You can try verifying local files, though reinstalling should have fixed any issues with missing or corrupt files, especially if you made sure the install folder was removed (or empty) after uninstalling, or installed to a different location. Try right clicking the executable, select Properties, switch to the Compatibility tab and check off the 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' option (set it to Application), maybe run as administrator and disable fullscreen optimization, and set a Win 7 or 8 compatibility mode. Try exiting out of the Steam client, and starting the game directly from the '.\SteamApps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\DefEd\bin\EoCApp.exe' program file, by right clicking and running as administrator. Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game? Firewalls can cause conflicts (generally on startup or loading screens) and overlays from graphics tweaking/monitoring programs or chat programs can also caused issues.
