I have uninstalled and have done a fresh reinstall of the game and still nothing, i am by no means tech savvy i have updated drivers, checked windows for an update and it was current and even reinstalled the .NET stuff please, please help as i can't find anything that i haven't already tried!!

Have you been able to play the game at all or has it had the black screen from the beginning? Are you on windows 10, 11?

What is your processor and graphic card? If you don't know, right click on an empty space of the windows taskbar and click on "Task manager", then on "Performance", then if you click on the left on CPU it tells you what cpu it is(top right), and if you click on GPU it tells you what graphic card it is.

I have not been able to play at all i was able to eventually log in but the flickering was near constant and as soon as i loaded into a world it went completely black. Im on an AMD ryzen 5 3600 6 core processor with a Radeon RX 580 on windows 11

Could be a Windows 11 thing. I have very similar hardware, but run on Windows 10 without issues.

Some people who had the issue were able to solve it by underclocking the GPU in AMD settings, where the default settings seems to be too high for the card. I don't have an equivalent AMD card at the moment so I can't test it. Here is a video showing how to do it:
