After the latest update, when I start up the game I hit continue, and everything seems normal for a bit. It starts loading, takes me to the art screen with the battle on the ship, and then it gets hung up on that screen. I can hear the sounds of the normal game, the cursor shifts to its different icon as I move the mouse, but the screen remains the loading screen image. I've updated drivers, I've restarted, I've tried loading saved games instead of continue-- nothing changes.
