faithkills: I just bought this game and have the same forever loading problem. (27266)  
 I contacted support and asked for a previous version to try before I get a refund.  
 It would save them and users trouble if they just had older versions available to dl.  
 Of course they also need to have a working current version ultimately. 
  I just tried that and have exactly the same problem. See screenshot. I also installed in the correct order. The game just hangs there, perpetually loading . . .  
 Also logs show me this . . . :  
 Showing loading screen.

 I don't have GoG Galaxy nor do I intend too. If I want overlays I'll just load Steam. I buy from GoG to not have all that junk running in the backgound.  
 On that note: There are Steam API in this game's directory.  
 My System: 
 I have an AMD Ryzen 3900X with 128GB. GTX 1080 Ti FTW (Dell Gaming Monitor 165Mhz) I run heavier applications then this without issue. It's not my hardware.
