Bazzite VM launches onto a black screen with a flashing input underscore, nothing else.

I downloaded the bazzite iso to test it out before switching to see if it would meet my needs, I was abe to install succesfully and it took me through the process of setting up the drives and making an account on the machine. But now when I boot the virtual machine it shows the bazzite logo and a loading swirl and then goes to the aforementioned black screen. Running the download from the website for a 64-bit GNOME instalation VM is being hosted with VirtualBox v7.0 System Hardware: - Windows 10 Home -Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming -CPU: Intel i9-9900k, 3.6GHz, 8 Cores -64 GB of DDR5 RAM (I have forgotten the brand) VM files and storage are on a secondary 2TB SSD. Let me know if more information is needed.
