Travel to Dryford Crossing Black Screen

I couldn't get this to occur again. But when traveling to Dryford Crossing the screen went black where my cursor was still visible. I was able to hit escape and "quit" to the main menu. When I loaded my recent saved game and did it again there was no issue.

 

edit: There was the loading symbol in the bottom right corner while this screen was stuck.

If you get stuck try this. 

 

 

Likely a problem with autopause. Press the spacebar, see if it helps.

Yup, very likely. Had this happen to me, the autopause triggers before game finishes loading all the text, models and art. It's likely the boar companions dying over and over when you revisit the town. All you see is a black screen and a cursor, so you think you're stuck

 

That's the problem? Damnit, I deleted my first games because of that

It's a problem the dev team should be fixing!
