I would like to add to this by saying that i have experienced a similar issue, where my game will launch, but no cosmetics will load. the locker is bugged, showing a black background with missing assets. Loading a match, or attempting to equip a cosmetic results in a crash. The only way to resolve the issue was to download the game files using the official Epic Games Launcher.
