what is the last repack you have been able to run successfully before 4.1? this started to happen right after installing the new gpu or before? did you try executing the game exe directly? what chipset and vram both cards are using? since the launcher is no longer in the task bar it means it crashed and closed (it is not lost in resolution somewhere off screen), and if it used to work properly on the previous vga i hardly suspect anything wrong with your game folder unless data were moved or edited somehow, or if the new vga has less ram (less than 4gb vram).
there are allot of reasons of crashes, could be mods and plugins misplaced or outdated, system errors or even hardware conflicts. i am also not familiar with the fitgirl repacks as i never used it, did you try asking on discord or a community that uses that repack?
i found this page, try reinstalling the game using instructions provided there, it may help:

maps are in 2 categories, the maps you can not modify or edit (you can move/rotate some of them, they usually come with sets and light sources of their own), they can be added to a studio scene by going to "ADD>maps".
the other kind are studio map items, they are like any object item you add to the scene and they are editable, movable and can access their FK nodes and materials via material editor. they can be added by going to "ADD>item" or "ADD>search> search for "map" " or (control+space) to access the search plugin by shortcut. these are usually mods, so please note that not all mods can be found in one repack or the sideloader mod pack, also note that allot of mods may not be released by the modder/importer or may require payment/patreon subscription.
anyway i couldn't find these beach items on the mod pack i have as well, i also had several crashes loading some of makoto's maps as well.
please feel free to ask anything and i am sure everyone will help if they can. also you can use this
studio/chara help thread if the matter is more complex and require more explanation. it also has guides.
if (F11) is assigned to rendered screenshot then it should be already applied. but it still could be something related to the screenshotmanager plugin, we encountered other problems with alpha shaders using it before. not sure but this may be get fixed by changing shaders or other material properties depending on the problem. a screen shot example or comparison of the issue will help too.
did you upgrade your repack recently? did you check if any of the cards are actually corrupted using kkmanager? check
this post by great_old_one here. if you find any remove them and test again. if not please try the following:
first back-up all your cards from "game folder/userdata/chara/female/" (including all sub folders that some mods create) and cut them to another directory, once it is clean and empty, try creating a test chara card of the stock miwa character (no mods or coordinates) then see if it is saved in folder and viewable in game. if it didn't work, press (F1) and go to "plugin settings" and search for "maker browser folders" plugin and make sure all settings are correct (reset any edited options for that plugin)

re start the game and try again.
if not, open kkmanager ( located in "game folder/[UTILITY] KKManager") and go to plugin's tab, search for "browser" to find "maker/studio browser plugin" then make sure it is highlighted and click on disable. and repeat the process to test.

if none of this worked, first enable the plugin from kkmanager, then go

and reinstall the folder browser plugin again and overwrite the .dll file
when HS2 was released, screwthisnoise made repacks with mods and plugins included, they are (R1 to R5.0.1 final). then illusion released HS2 DX expansion DLC, so screwthisnoise released a new repack (DX R1 to DX R2).
R3 is too old and you cant upgrade it to any DX expansion repack, latest DX repack is DX R2 it can be found

, you dont have to redownload the large sideloader pack if you already have it/updated it.
if the game hangs then resumes it is probably fine and normal, if it hangs and crashed that is when you need to start worrying ^^.
there is a plugin called " RemoveToRecycleBin" that keep a copy of any overwritten or deleted card in the recycle bin as a back up just in case you did it by mistake so you can restore them. disable it from kkmanager if you don't wish to have it.
you should be able to do that using the "maker/studio browser" plugin which is included in the repack. when in the chara maker, go to settings from top and select load on the left, you should see the character cards in thumbnails on the rite side of the screen, and right next to it a menu with a folder browser.
