I've watched if for a couple minutes (around 5)....music played but the same loading splash screen....

I've since that last post got "teleported" by Cha0s (Thanks again!)....but hopefully the log I've previously posted will be of some help for a future bug fix!

Ahh I almost forgot about that option.... thanx
 

Heres my console log as requested- even though it does say "success" at the end, I still get stuck at the 2nd status screen & have to force quit out of the game
