When in fullscreen, the game just freezes for the duration of the loading (new area, loading a character, teleporting etc.). Sure, the game is completely playable but it gets quite annoying after a while. Loading screens with tips and cool art should appear during these loadings. You can of course switch to windowed mode and this makes the game handle the loadings as it should (except the intro logos don't work no matter what) but you get the annoying top window bar..
I tried solving this by using Windowed Borderless Gaming and DXWnd. Windowed Borderless Gaming works, but mouse cusror is offset, making the game practically unplayable. DXWnd plays the intro logos, but hangs for an extremely long time on any loading making it again, barely playable.
For now, I settled to using WBG and playing at 1920x1060 to center the misaligned cursor. This leaves a 20px high strip of your desktop visible while playing, but I'd rather get smooth loadings. You also have to move the game window to the top of the screen and enable automatic hiding of the status bar and lock the cursor to the game window (WBG allows that).
Just putting it here so that people are aware of this problem. I doubt a fix exists or will exist, which is a shame :(.
