I've left Factorio running and it's still at 0%. So looking for a wider solution
Things I've tried thus far:
- Verify Integrity of Game Files
- Verify Integrity after deleting files (files replaced error remains)
- Uninstall + Reinstall of Factorio
- Leaving it to run in the background to see if any progress is made
- Switching to different Beta versions
Some of these multiple times in combination. I also can't close Factorio through the Task Manager and need to restart to close the program
What should I try now?
Or do I need to provide more information? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading

Just going to paste what I hope is the Log here:
