Edit: nvm, I didn’t see the HUGE banner that says “Experimental” .
Can I ask you for your player.log, player-prev.log, DxDiag and your DatastorePTR? These instructions and where to get them are outlined here: About the Wicked Experimental Branch category
Same thing happened to myself and my brother (who was playing for the first time).
We had to press the “skip cutscene” button, then spawned on the beach without any items.
