I fixed it by setting the FOV to any number instead of 0.
It seems that the main menu does not save the settings, so you will need to wait until you are off the boat to make any changes. However, this has worked for me.
Also having the same problem. Asus 1080Ti, Intel i7-8700k, 32gb ram, 2560px1440p
Wait for cutscene to finish and then go to settings and change FOV.
The games FOV is altered from 90 to 0. Go to settings and change FOV from 0 to any value you choose after the character has arrived on the island.
Examine the FOV in the settings.
