Current Update Freezes At Initial Splash Screen

[PiePi]

I just reinstalled the game to try out update 11.  Unfortunately it seems the game now refuses to fully load.

The launcher loads up and does it's thing as usual, but when I click "Play" it will boot up the game,

up to the splash screen.  Once there it just locks up at the initial splash screen image, and the only thing that ever loads

is the little bar at the bottom left for frame response/fps.  The loading bar itself never moves and I have to force crash

the game to get back out.

 

I never had this issue with this game before.  Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit:

Disabling multithreaded rendering let me load in to the game again. >.> So...there's that.

Yeah I neglected to read the part in the patch notes about multithreading being enabled by default. Disabled that earlier and game started up just fine. Not sure why they decided to change that to a default if it isn't fully stable yet.
