It seems like 80% of the time when entering a new screen (either buildings or travel) it just hangs on the black Loading screen.  I can still hear the background music and access the Menu to reload but I can't progress.  It seems random as well since sometimes I can Quickload and attempt it again, and it works.

I have seen this issue too.

Me too. Other than that, the game's great!

Got this bug.

Happens to me also but if I hit the space bar it loads

Oh man, I had this issue too, but ShadySands idea worked for me as well.  I hit the space bar and it finished loading!  Thanks.

Yeah I noticed how my game would start out faded and paused whenever I Quickloaded.  So it goes to figure that whenever you travel or Quickload the game pauses itself, and it looks like it's freezing on the black Loading screen.  I just made a new game and managed to just unpause the screen whenever it froze like that.

Shadysands' fix worked for me, also. Thanks!
